	Media	Author	Review
		Serena Davies Telegraph	"The BBC, then, have done something important – they have made an elegiac, lyrical film with which the next generation can associate the war (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Brian Lowry Variety	"[It boasts] a romance lovingly shot and adroitly told, but somewhat tedious in the buildup, the leads’ appeal notwithstanding. All told, 'Birdsong' hums a pretty but not particularly memorable tune."
		Sam Wollaston The Guardian	"The war scenes are extraordinary (...) Eddie Redmayne is an excellent Lieutenant Stephen Wraysford"
		Phil Dyess-Nugent AV Club	"'Birdsong' doesn’t really have a feel for the loss of control that comes with romantic passion, but it does shamelessness like a Hollywood pro."
		William Thomas Empire	"The simpering love story is unremarkable, but the World War I trench scenes are harrowing (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
