Another reaction to Pretty Bird, this one from Ew's Adam B. Vary.

I especially wish the Pretty Bird audience at the Racquet Club last night had a chance to witness the freewheeling hilarity of that "interview," because they certainly didn't experience it in the film itself. Laced with a mordantly off-kilter sense of humor, the movie seemed to make many people laugh out of confusion as much as anything else, and the last 30 minutes left most completely bewildered. Waiting outside for the shuttle bus afterward, one long-standing indie distributor muttered, to no one in particular, "I don't understand why they even placed that in the festival. It was so bad."
