Birdsong

Tweet

Review
Your enjoyment of the BBC's three-hour adaptation of Faulk's novel will depend on your tolerance for the intrusive score and close-ups of Eddie Redmayne. When the camera looks at something else, Birdsong
is a sensitively handled drama, if one that sometimes threatens to collapse under its own worthiness. The simpering love story is unremarkable, but the World War I trench scenes are harrowing.

Reviewed by Owen Williams

Birdsong Released: 10 April 2012 Promo featurettes on the war and love-story aspects, and a behind-the-scenes feature.
