Instant Favorite.

It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

Do you like dull and boring movies? If so then this movie is for you. Same European low budget film which is based on deep meanings where only sophisticated audience will get. Also considered art, not for a shallow thinkers and audience like us. Acting of a 10 year old and a bird. Actually this movie is so boring I could place it in the top 10 boring movies of all time.

In a time when most movies are all flour of the same bag, it's refreshing to see a touching, sensitive movie like this. There are many movies about dogs, few are about cats and even less so are about birds or other animals. This is one of those rare movies about birds.Basically it tells the story of a lonely dutch child with the strange name of Jojo and his special friendship with an adorable baby jackdaw. The kid has a peerless performance and so does the bird. The friendship and love between the boy and the bird is the best aspect of this good movie. Its worst aspect is Jojo's father, a cold and distant man with tendency for violence. Another thing I don't like in this otherwise great movie is the horrible way the innocent bird dies, even if it was accidental. The poor thing was loved by Jojo, hated by Jojo's father and died so horribly.The title of this movie strongly resembles "Cowboy", both written and spelled. But its meaning is entirely different.Title in Portugal: je ne sais pas.

I loved it because it touches on human emotions. In my opinion, the reason it is a good movie is because the bird he loves dies. If it had lived it would have turned the movie into a gushy-goo drama that would not have been liked by most people. Another reason is that it is a story that commonly happens between single parents and children.It made me sad that the father doesn't understand what the boy is going through, and the boy does not understand that his father wants to forget about his dead wife. My heart goes out to all those who are going through or went through a similar situation.It is a must watch movie for most ages and i hope that this review helped.Thank you.

The movie starts out the same way it ends. Whatever you do, see it with subtitles. If it does come out dubbed, I wonder if something may be lost.Jojo is a little boy, maybe 8 or 10, he's struggling with his mom not being around. he talks to her on the telephone telling her things about his life and the Jackdaw chick he's rescued from the nest. He initially tries to return the chick but the mother refuses and tries to attack him and the chick falls back out. He takes the chick home.Throughout the movie when you suspect that the tone is going to get deep and heavy and maudlin, it lilts back to life thanks to an incredibly moving soundtrack and Jojo's spirit with the connection to the Jackdaw chick. There's so much more going on in this movie than meets the surface. It's one of those that should be watched more than once. To see such a spectacular performance from the main character is simply amazing.No spoilers, just, if you're lucky enough to see this movie, enjoy it. It's worth the effort to find.
