2.5 out of 5 stars.
Little Wing is a pretty bad coming of age drama film about a teen who is struggling with the idea of her parents getting a divorce. Her mom wants to sell there home. And she comes across a guy who introduces her to pigeon racing. Yes. She falls for pigeon racing. While going through new changes in her life.
Plot was heartfelt. The direction does leave a lot of undeveloped supporting characters that gets forgotten in the end. The acting is terrible and flat with the cast ensemble. The main actress performance feels like she is literally reading straight off the script with no characterization.
It is a drama film that is forgotten.

Plot summary
For 13-year-old Kaitlyn, her world threatens to collapse when she learns that her parents want to get a divorce, especially because it threatens the loss of the house they shared in Portland, which had always been Kaitlyn's home. The teenage girl has dark thoughts and lost interest in life. The breeding pigeons given to her by her mother's police colleague don't make things any better. What should she do with the birds? Then her best friend Adam gives her an idea: they could steal the very valuable racing pigeon named Granger from the local breeder Jaan Vari, sell it and use the proceeds to pay off the mortgage on her family's home. The plan initially works, but then everything seems to go wrong and Kaitlyn loses her footing even more. But surprisingly, the old man who was robbed takes care of the girl and a bond develops between the two, which ultimately leads her to a new outlook on life.

Coming of age heart felt drama that falls with the acting and direction.
This is a strong 7
I did not read other reviews but i saw cumulative and for me. - this is a great little story - no spoilers but this is worthy of a bowl of popcorn and feet up - chock full of tidbits to remember - I am always amazed at Hollywood and the actors that are truly actors and not turning performance after performance as he same character - we all know of whom i speak 0- Brian Cox - we love to hate and love him and if i could offer awards he would get one for this role - and "i'll go Beth Dutton on you". She is great in her small role and not a once do you see a Beth Dutton but a mom... I truly would recommend this to most anyone as a decent nights entertainment...
An original and fun story
What a fun movie with a unique story line. What a future for the young actor, Brooklyn Prince. I sincerely hope one day when she looks back on this movie she appreciates the fact she was able to act in a movie with Brian Cox. One of my favorite actors of all time. He doesn't pull his acting chops for a moment in this movie either.
Some of these scenes were intense too. The young lady held her own. I can't believe how well this movie was done. I love when a creator takes a subject that we wouldn't think about in our daily lives. Pigeon racing. What? And oh my goodness the cinematography in one of the last scenes (don't want to be a spoiler) is phenomenal. Seriously, breathtaking work.
I know I mentioned Brian Cox, he's one of my all time favorite actors, but can't forget Kelly Reilly's performance is amazing also. Being able to step away from her Yellowstone role and play a softer side of the human condition was a pleasant surprise.
