Kommt ein Vogel geflogen

About This Movie

So, 'Kommt ein Vogel geflogen' is quite the oddball mix of comedy and drama, and honestly, it tackles some heavy themes wrapped in a bizarre, yet engaging premise. You've got Birgit, this animal keeper who thinks gifting her daughter Sarah a parrot is a good idea. Sarah's dealing with a speech impediment, so the parrot becomes this comforting presence for her. But then, the bird starts spouting Nazi slogans, which adds this surreal layer to the narrative. The pacing is interesting; at times it feels rushed, but it mirrors Sarah's own struggles, creating a weird tension. The performances, especially from the younger cast, are heartfelt, and the whole situation raises questions about identity and the impact of words. It's distinctive for how it blends humor with such a serious subject, not something you see every day.
