Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 9/10 --
Liz and the Blue Bird, while seemingly straightforward and simple, is one of the most structurally complex films about the necessity of communication for healthy relationships.

It's literally just quiet drama between a shy girl and her more outgoing friend accompanied by classical music. I'm sure there's an audience for Liz and the Blue Bird, but I'm just not a part of it.

Liz and the Blue Bird soars from the get-go as it weaves together a fantastical fairy tale and a more intimate, relatable high school story.

The Daily Dot
Rating: 3.5/5 --
What's most impressive is that Yamada gives delicate life to a wafer-thin story of two friends drifting apart. Without ever feeling choppy or over edited, the shots are composed in microscopic detail.

This film will resonate just as strongly with anyone who's ever been through the emotional roller coaster known as high school.

Japan Times
The sequences illustrating the fairy tale are rendered in a handsome water color style, but even these scenes feel too slow and deliberate to enliven the film.

Los Angeles Times
From a formalist perspective, all of Yamada's films are fascinating, and Liz and the Blue Bird might be the most fascinating for its contrasts of style and color, and for its elaborate soundscape.
