Winged Migration Reviews

As pretty and light as a feather on the wind.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 29, 2010

Jacques Perrin's spectacular documentary takes observation a step further as he literally seems to take flight with flocks of birds as they make their annual migration.

| Dec 23, 2010

Filmed with exceptional care and remarkable photographic ingenuity, no other nature documentary is as personal and as close-up as this one to the peculiarities of birds.

| Original Score: 80/100 | Oct 17, 2009

Craftily edited and staged, but still works as an entertaining, and visually stunning documentary.

| Apr 29, 2009

The Oscar-nominated "Winged Migration" is a virtuosi technical achievement in documentary filmmaking due to its astonishingly intimate photography of the migrations of numerous species of birds across the earth's northern and southern hemispheres.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 7, 2008

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Dec 7, 2007

Utilizing sky divers, ultralights, helicopters, planes, etc., the filmmakers litterally have you flying with the birds. It makes for a heady, enjoyable ride.

The point of this true-life adventure is not the dissemination of information but the instilling of a sense of awe in the viewer ...

Winged Migration must be the most subversive G-rated film ever.

| Jun 13, 2004

The material seems shapeless... no question was raised that might have held me... And maybe Born Free was a documentary, too.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Mar 19, 2004

There's no better tribute to the beauty of flight than Jacques Perrin's lighter-than-air documentary wonder.

| Feb 9, 2004

It's a movie you sit back and marvel at.

Winged Migration soars, and lets us fly along for the ride.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 2, 2004

In the tradition of the also nearly wordless Atlantis and Microcosmos… educational voiceover narration is superfluous: It's enough simply to see.

| Original Score: A- | Dec 26, 2003

The movie is, in three words, beautiful beautiful beautiful.

| Original Score: 10/10 | Dec 19, 2003
