Review: ‘A Birder’s Guide to Everything’ Starring Kodi Smit McPhee & Ben Kingsley
A movie about four 15-year old high school students searching for an extinct duck just became one of my (so far) favorite movies of the year. A Birder’s Guide to Everything is a delightfully charming (and sometimes sad) story of David Portnoy (Kodi Smit-McPhee), a young bird watcher. I mean
