Film Pulse
This extraordinary documentary weighs the bleak details - and they are, at times, almost unbearably grim - against moments of lyrical beauty and even humour.

Screen International
It's a testament to the filmmakers' talent and sensitivity that Scheme Birds is never unbearable to watch, nor unduly sentimental in the way of so much liberal-minded cinema.

Hollywood Reporter
Although the documentary lays out in detail the rudderless existence of many of the young people, it also finds a visual lyricism and freedom metaphor in Gemma's grandfather's pigeons.

[A] superb documentary, an alternately lyrical and gut-punching coming-of-age study...
