Birdie Wing is an experience. It is by no means flawless; even a casual eye will be able to recognize the limitations to the budget, and the pacing toward the end leans to the frantic. Who cares? This is the best love story involving golf we are likely to see in our lifetimes. Provided one can set aside the realistic and the gritty in favor of telenovela plot twists, convoluted dynastic golf drama, and magical, forbidden golf techniques, Birdie Wing has the grip strength and the heart to gloss over its rougher edges. Die-hard yuri fans seeking a sports-themed contender for the MagiRevo crown may comeaway hungry for more. Nevertheless, this is a love story, and it finds ways to let its wings shine.
