Review of Firebird

Firebird (I) (2021)
9/10
Solid piece of work
8 January 2022
The temptation to find fault with otherwise genuine attempts to portray a story based on real events and people is always risky. There is in fact nothing radically wrong with this film. It is a straightforward tale with a beginning, a middle, and an end. Moreover it is technically about as good as possible for films made in a small country with an international cast speaking several languages at once with the aid of some dubbing. Editing and score are good, the sites and settings basically accurate.

Although the story jumps around a bit, and there are some blanks in the narrative, I found both major and minor actors quite good. Most of all, it's a film with a heart, profoundly in tune with its place and time in history.
