Review of The Hummingbird Project

Yes, we all know this surfs over a flimsy coat of american-dream-based-BS, and it makes use of such cheap gimmicks as Quaker farms, fatal disease and lemon farmers (I'm not gonna reveal further, you just have to watch it), but it does so masterfully. This is a movie that clearly knows where it comes from and where it is going, and manages to make the journey beautifully. A rare instance of a Canadian movie that doesn't suck! Add to the mix a great cast, a competent script, good direction, editing and cinematography, and you've got a movie that can't go wrong (unless you want it to).
