REVIEWS
“Barraclough is able to tell such a vivid story of grief without ever feeling the need to disclose specific narrative details. This demonstrates a maturity in his storytelling and one that is matched by Shaw’s excellent leading performance.” HCMOVIEREVIEWS
“What feelings and impulses must go through one’s mind when a loved one leaves one’s life? This film explores that idea fully and beautifully in its scant running time. The music by Zoe Mead is a particular highlight.” Simon Whitlock – JUMPCAST

REVIEWS
‘There is much to love about every aspect of Barraclough’s observation on love, loss and fleeting moments of illusory bliss. The whole thing plays out like someone’s idealised, glimmering memories from years ago, the actual event of which was less than poetic.’ INDIE SHORTS MAG
‘Laurie Barraclough’s short is shot like a feature film and this, along with its many other strengths really showcase Clementines potential to be just that. Brought together exquisitely by the beautiful music featured Clementines is a fully realised short just waiting to be given the feature length treatment.’ HCMOVIEREVIEWS
‘Delicately tender and intimate, the relationship between these two is slowly teased out throughout the short and is done in such a way that we are able to feel the history between them. The film boasts a majority female crew behind camera and the framing of these sisters and their relationship demonstrates this eye.’ FLIPSCREENED.COM

REVIEWS
The result is this gorgeous, delicate story of a young girl seeking solace in the form of birdwatching. The short, aptly titled Birdwatcher, is a peaceful and rather uplifting look at the effects of grief and loss, and how the simple things in life can heal us. Made with a low budget, it’s impressive to see how this filmmaking team has pulled together to create something rather special, featuring a wonderful lead performance, stunning visuals and a beautiful soundtrack from folk-pop artist Wyldest.

Accompanied by a fantastic soundtrack featuring an array of original songs produced for the film by Wyldest, Birdwatcher is an absolute gem of a film, and is a magnificent treat for each and every viewer fortunate enough to bear eyes upon it. 4/5. DOMONFILM.COM
