In terrific coming-of-age drama "Little Wing" uncool 13yr old Brooklynn Prince (excellent) lives in Portland, Oregon with mum Kelly Reilly (great) & surly brother Simon Khan. To try saving their home after her parents recent divorce, Prince has pal Che Tafari help her steal a valuable racing pigeon (long story) from top breeder Brian Cox (also excellent)... which thru Cox's character (well written, as all are, by John Gatins) sparks an unlikely friendship between he & Prince just when she needed it most. For those wondering how anyone could love pigeons (and/or life), director Dean Israelite's wonderful film may have the answers. Heart-warming stuff.
