Birds of Paradise is a fine little lesbian diversion for a moody day. Worst case, you'll remember how good Diana Silvers is in Booksmart and watch that again.

The dancers are very good, and Jacqueline Bisset playing that devil -- she was absolutely outstanding.

High class trash... It is a film that you don't necessarily feel proud of yourself for enjoying as much as you do.

The visual flair + bizarre dance sequences are quite fun to watch, and the two young leads are terrific, but the film further perpetuates the notion that ballet is creepy and filled with terror.
