A Bluebird in My Heart

I loves watching Indie film, this movie are great cause the storyline and cast performances are great ! Especially Roland Møller ! I've seen him a lot in supporting roles.. He's an amazing actor, which are one of the reasons I'm interested to see this film.. Delivering his believable performances as always.. It's not a plain ass drama, it's dark & gritty with some actions.. Overall it's worth a shot

Looked good from a trailer so went in on that premise and it delivered.

Nothing to outside of the realm of a gritty genre film. Recently released convict works for place to stay. Hotel owners kid befriends convict. Convict becomes her protector. Reminded me of a few films...and that's where the "formulaic" came into play.

It is worth a watch, mild complaints aside. It's a simple premise and storyline. Acting and cinematography hold their own.

6.5/10

A very solid drama/thriller indie film that flies very low under the radar. I happen to come across this film when channel surfing on YoutubeTv. The synopsis: Danny is an ex-convict who aspires to a quiet life, and becomes friends with his landlady and Clara, the latter's granddaughter, with whom he begins to have an affectionate fatherly relationship. Without spoiling what happens this film is very gritty and dark but there is a light at the end of the tunnel. It doesn't matter how your story starts but matters how it ends. This movie features very strong performances and the cinematography is beautiful. My only beef with this film is that it feels very condensed/short. I feel like there may be a Director's Cut out there somewhere. A Bluebird in My Heart stole my heart and gets a solid 7 stars out of 10. Don't forget about the Indie films!

Well thought, well executed, well acted. Minimum cast, minimum budget - maximum solidity and persuasiveness. A humble masterpiece.

This terrific little thriller is one of those small film-festival darlings that will ultimately not get seen by enough people. Roland Møller stars as an ex-con, freshly released, who gets a job as a dishwasher while staying at a mother-daughter (Veerle Baetens & Lola Le Lann) run hotel. The two women each have their own issues... and trouble soon finds them all in various ways. This is a great story that asks the age-old question, "Can you teach an old dog new tricks?"
