Birds of a Feather

About This Movie

Birds of a Feather is a gentle dive into the lives of a group of elderly Armenian men, living their best moments through backgammon in a Glendale park. Nora Sweeney captures the essence of camaraderie and nostalgia, allowing the viewer to feel the weight of their stories without ever being heavy-handed. There's a lovely rhythm to the film, as each character arrives, marking the beginning of their ritual. The subtitled interactions pull you in, almost like being a part of their circle, listening to tales that blend humor with the bittersweet. The atmosphere is warm, almost like a sunlit afternoon, where every move of the game tells its own story. It's about connection, memory, and the simple joys in life, with an authenticity that's hard to find.
