Songbird (2018)

"Alludes to well-known fairy-tale myth, from Sleeping Beauty to the imagery of Little Red Riding Hood... Therese Collins is excellent as a classic villain... Songbird is a tremendous short that shows the importance of voices... Sophie Black demonstrates a skill for the craft of filmmaking and has created an artistic short with a raft of narrative to keep an audience captivated. With a selection of thematic and emotional beats, Songbird therefore takes flight with a magical trip from the mic stand to wonderland."

"We are happy to go wherever Jennifer takes us... Songbird is an enjoyable fairytale with an engaging central performance from Devlin, who creates genuine humanity within a world of fantasy."

(UK Film Review)

​

"Janet Devlin's performance as shy singer Jennifer is such a delight! She speaks through her soul... Even though she couldn't speak, we could feel her inner voice throughout. Janet is absolutely mesmerising in this beautiful modern fairy-tale."

​

"Songbird presents itself with beautiful visuals and strong performances. There is an endearing innocence about it that draws in and compels the audience... The film's pastel colour palette suits it perfectly and the design of the piece is flawless... "

(Largo Film Awards)

"Refreshingly sensitive... Janet Devlin has a very charismatic screen presence... [Songbird is] an aesthetically beautiful fantasy, definitely worth a watch."

"[Sophie] Black easily conjures up an ambience that is reminiscent of those eighties fantasy staples Legend and Labyrinth... Janet Devlin has a natural screen presence and acting ability that show she has just as much talent in front of a camera."
