Review of Firebird

Firebird (I) (2021)
7/10
Hidden and Forbidden Love
19 March 2021
Warning: Spoilers
A hidden love affair among three characters; Sergey, Ramon and Luisa. Sergey and Luisa are close friends but Luisa expects from Sergey more affection than their friendship. When Ramon has started an affair with Sergey, he had been reported therefore, he had to make a choice for his future as a pilot. Even though Ramon truly loves Sergey, he is well-aware that they cannot form a solid relationship unfortunately because of being sent to prison for five years. In the wedding scene especially Kuznetsov's small chat with Sergey during dinner and the Newyear's night in Ramon's apartment small bedroom hearing them having sex must be painful to watch or hear.... The film can be compared with South African gay themed drama "Moffie" or Burning Blue in terms of plot similarity. Looking back on, "Serving in Silence, the Margarethe Cammermeyer story, Glenn Close was discharged in the film after revealing her sexual identity. It's bitter truth that sometimes in our lives, we all have to make some choices which we do not desire in many aspects. Overall, it was not a bad movie at all. The Grade is 6.5.
