White Bird Movie Review

Before I get to White Bird, I’m going to backtrack for a minute.

Do you remember the movie Wonder? 10 year old Auggie Pullman had a genetic disorder that required multiple facial surgeries. Unfortunately, he was bullied by a classmate. Wonder is an awesome move. However, you do not have to watch it first. But you should watch it at some point!

So let’s continue on to White Bird……..

From the world of Wonder, which sparked a movement to “choose kind,” comes the inspirational next chapter: White Bird. Struggling to fit in at his new school after being expelled for his treatment of Auggie Pullman, Julian is visited by his grandmother and is transformed by the compassionate and heroic story of her attempts to escape Nazi-occupied France during WWII.

White Bird Movie Review

From the director of Finding Neverland, White Bird reminds us to be brave and choose kind. White Bird stars Ariella Glaser, Orlando Schwerdt, Bryce Gheisar, with Gillian Anderson, and Helen Mirren. This movie is rated PG-13. It has some very intense scenes, so I recommend sticking to watching this with your teens, and not younger kids. This is a riveting movie. Oh my goodness. My heart was pounding in some places. Because there are scenes that depict some of the horrible things that happened during the Holocaust.

While fear, grief, and horror are represented, there is a message of hope. The kind of hope that comes from someone doing something kind for you, without asking anything in return. Kindness that can never be repaid.

“When kindness can cost you your life, it becomes like a miracle”

“You forget many things in life. But you never forget kindness. Like love, it stays with you forever.”

In the end, after hearing his grandmother’s story, Julian learned an important lesson about kindness. And how to practice kindness. Thereby changing not only his life, but the lives of those around him.

I highly, highly recommend seeing this incredible movie! The cast, the scenery, the storyline, the directing, all come together to make it incredible.

Buy tickets today to see White Bird in theaters starting October 4th!
