Songbird Reviews
As a comment on the actual pandemic, Songbird is highly equivocal: perhaps this too can be attributed to Bay, who packs his films with mixed messages.
| Original Score: 2/5 | May 21, 2021
This Michael Bay-produced travesty exploits the coronavirus epidemic for thrills. That's right, for thrills.
| Original Score: 0/4 | Dec 17, 2020
Songbird isn't very good, which you might expect for something thrown together so quickly.
| Dec 13, 2020
[It] eventually converges in a way that feels at once hopelessly contrived and pitifully narrow...
| Dec 12, 2020
Its gimmick is the pandemic, but it doesn't have anything interesting or insightful to say about it.
| Original Score: D- | Dec 11, 2020
Even if one sets aside all potential moral arguments about the very existence of Songbird, it's still just really bad.
| Original Score: 0/4 | Dec 11, 2020
It pushes buttons that feel ugly and inappropriate, all of which makes giving the film any sort of fair assessment difficult to do.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Dec 11, 2020
Though not especially objectionable, "Songbird" may suffer a worse fate: being forgettable.
| Dec 11, 2020
To be honest, it's surprising that it's taken this long for such an example of cash-in pandemic-sploitation to arrive. If there's a warning to be heeded here, it's this: The next one might be worse.
| Original Score: D | Dec 10, 2020
It's patchy, admittedly, in places, but it's also audacious and the first mainstream film to address unapologetically, in every scene, in every frame of film, our present situation.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 10, 2020
Warning: If you are experiencing nausea, headache, fatigue or vomiting, you might have just watched Songbird.
| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Dec 10, 2020
It's clear that Songbird is meant as a cautionary tale, but it's so clumsy in its messaging that it winds up feeling directionless and glib at best, and exploitive at worst.
| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Dec 10, 2020
An enjoyably tactless jolt of trash-cinema bravado.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 10, 2020
It's less "Too soon!" and more "So what?" We're left with just a standard-issue post-apocalyptic dystopian thriller, albeit one with a massively overqualified cast of actors.
| Dec 10, 2020
For all of its gimmicky appeal, "Songbird" is bad enough that your entire neighborhood will be able to smell it streaming onto your 온라인카지노추천, and it gets worse faster than your nose can adjust to the stench.
| Original Score: D | Dec 10, 2020
There is precious little of anything that would help make this universe feel plausible, let alone inhabited by characters who are fully fleshed enough to care about...
| Original Score: 1/4 | Dec 10, 2020
Despite the high-stakes drama, there's nary a compelling moment throughout, and some of the characterizations... are so absurdly one-note that it's hard not to think that the film is meant as parody.
| Dec 10, 2020
We'll eventually see dozens if not hundreds of projects using the pandemic as a plot point. "Songbird" will be among the least memorable.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Dec 10, 2020
Songbird is an acceptably watchable thriller that's more notable for what it achieves technically than anything else.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 10, 2020
