"Birdie" (Sundance Review): A Quiet, Formally Rigorous Portrait of Waiting After the Biafran War

"'Birdie' announces a filmmaker of genuine talent, one committed to formal rigor and cultural specificity — cinema that treats loss not as a problem to be resolved but as a condition that continues to shape daily life. It asks audiences to sit with uncertainty, to accept non-closure, to share in the suspended time of waiting. Not all audiences will embrace these demands. Birdie stays in that suspended time."
