Critics Consensus: The Yellow Birds has a strong cast and a worthy message, but they're both lost in this war drama's rote, clichéd story.

Joanne Laurier

Yellow Birds ends up being all too nonjudgmental and restricts itself for the most part to little more than immediate emotional realities.

Alden Ehrenreich and Ty Sheridan were both great and the cinematography is stunning.

Although the cinematography is beautiful and the film has a lot of potential, it's far too slowly paced and doesn't have enough depth for the heavy material it takes on.

The Yellow Birds doesn't say much of anything outside of the mundane. The trio of young men at its center are compelling enough, but the entire ordeal feels like a mash-up of countless other movies.

Talent on both sides of the camera can't quite pull together this cerebral, introspective examination of the psychological trauma of military combat.
