This is very well acted, and a tender story of forgiveness. The main characters were very believable. Well worth a watch.
Addie was amazing.

Forgiveness and Grace
jlunsbee22 June 2021
Heartwarming story grappling with real issues of forgiveness and healing
bill-8163631 December 2023
The US population has a million plus people incarcerated in any given year. The fact of the matter is that each of these million people are a part of a family and those released after serving time somehow have to navigate reconnecting with society, individuals and relatives. Victims of crimes and their family members must chose whether to let bitterness destroy or whether to forgive and heal. And the rest whose families and lives have never been impacted by serious crime still have to come to grips with forgiving those whose actions have inflicted pain and loss.
Birdie did a great job of showcasing one man's journey to reconnect with his daughter. Strong lead characters. The messages of forgiveness, redemption and reconciliation were strong, but this movie realistically portrayed the struggle also.
Though the strongest emphasis was on family relationships and most significantly the father/daughter relationship I thought this movie also did a great job of highlighting strong sibling bonds, pulls towards destructive addictions, judgmental attitudes and the like.
Well done, definitely worth the time to watch.

I was quite impressed with this movie. The acting was impeccable, especially by the youngest actress. I really felt for Luke who was truly repentant and took full responsibility for his past.
The story line was very believable and I liked how the writer made characters who did not all think or act alike. Instead, some were resentful of his past and made it clear, yet others portrayed true forgiveness and were willing to give him another chance.
The music, sounds, and scenery were very soothing and inviting.
I highly recommend this movie and it's message of forgiveness and grace.
