Sorry, this movie sucks

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

My fondness for Nature and the idea of sharing this movie with a couple of birdwatchers brought this movie to my attention. Was i ready for it? Not even close!!! Not ready for the Religious subtext, not ready for the graphic sexual images, not ready for the dreamlike script that never gave away the meaning of it all and most of all not ready to enjoy it so much.If your kind of movies are mainstream blockbusters with plenty of action and a fast-food script stay away from it, you are in risk of severe damage to your beliefs, feelings and mind constructs.But if you like to go into the rabbit hole of other peoples heads just go for it, it´s one hell of a ride.

Ornithology is a sorta hobby for me, and at least in the beginning of the movie the movie delivers - it is beautifully shot and there are some great shots of some beautiful country and beautiful birds as well.But then the movie descends into this art house nonsense, and I was pretty irritated that I had invested my time in what turned out to be some sad statement.Typical. I don't really care about the story's point of view, honestly I'm pretty irritated that Netflix recommended it 'based on' my like of another movie that was a very good mystery/thriller... this is nothing at all like that. Its just a meandering bit of nonsense trying to drive home an old point that I get and could care less about - get over it.

Imagine if Robert Bresson and Walerian Borowczyk were a single person, a synthesis filmmaker. Now imagine that person is gay. Now imagine that person had a fever dream. That dream would be "The Ornithologist". (If you understood that sentence we're soulmates).If you're in the market for a psycho-sexual erotic biblical parable that flirts with bondage, urination fetish, bestiality, and just good old fashion beautiful men rolling around naked on a beach, but, you know, all done in an artistically austere, under- emphasized way and then hazed into a hallucinatory mist of a story, then this is your jam right here.What did I think of it?I thought it was AWESOME!

this is a portugese film. I don't see many. I didn't realize just how different portugese is from Spanish. now I understand why they can't understand one another. anyway, Fernando is a bird watcher in the wilds of Portugal. again, who knew. after an accident he is found half dead by two Chinese women, who nurse him back to life. this does not work out so well for him. he later runs into a deaf mute goat herder, and that turns into a disaster. I am not sure if we are dealing in allegory, mysticism, metaphysics or what. the portugese forests are beautiful, as is the movie. there is full frontal male nudity and frontal female as well. there is a brief scene with two men kissing and rolling around on the ground. which might disturb some. nothing happens. the scenery reminded me of brazil, which I guess is appropriate. not sure if it's for everyone, but I liked it. in a way it's one man vs. the elements with religion thrown in. peace.l
