mads leonard holvik I really liked this movie. I never felt it was too long or boring. In fact, the movie gave me space to reflect and to do my own soul searching as I watched the main character trying to find a way, trying to find himself. Is he the hopeless man who ruined it for his family and brought shame on and abandoned his son? Or is he something more, something he can only find by being given a new chance by an understanding prison warden and by connecting with these birds of prey who also need help? More than anything I liked this movie for the glimps it gave into how humans can be good to each other even though it is difficult. There is a way if we are willing to try.

amythest-12830 I was amazed how good this movie was. I have now seen it twice and I still could keep watching it.This movie has a very good story line and a amazing ray of beautiful birds and the message it gave me is "even the broken and hurt can be mended"The guy that plays Victor in this movie does a really good job, the role really suits him very much. Just would also like to say that Yasmine the Eagle in this movie really makes me think about how us humans are threatening there habitat and that really soon they will have nowhere to go at all.This movie will touch your heart and really makes you think.

hdebmark Why in the world do Australian audiences fail to turn out for first rate drama and settle for comic book remakes or simplistic American dreck? This movie is simply stunning and should have had a much larger audience here in its home country. The scenery certainly sums up the sparse beauty of Victoria. And Hany and Weaving both give wonderfully rich and subtle performances.The subject matter is fascinating. This is NOT some grubby prison movie -- it's a story of an innovative rehabilitation methodology. Well done!!!
