I'm by no means a harsh reviewer and I love films, but High Flying Bird was the first movie in a long time that I turned off after 30 minutes. I was so bored, the story, or lack of one was just so dull. I've seen the "landmark movie, "Social Commentary", and "So much more than a basketball movie" type reviews and all I can say is, I'm dubious about who wrote them and why. The overwhelming and overriding emotion I'll take away from High Flying Bird is one of sheer unadulterated boredom. There's nothing to draw you in, you couldn't care less about the characters and the snippets of real interviews was the only factor of interest I found. Much like an ad break in a terrible TV show, they were more entertaining than the film they were supposed to support. I might go back and watch the rest of the film someday, but that might be a long time coming.
