Blackbird is a 2007 American drama film directed and written by Adam Rapp and starring Gillian Jacobs, Paul Sparks, and Danny Hoch.
[5] In 1990s New York City, teen runaway and stripper Froggy is caught in the throes of heroin addiction as she falls in love with a fellow junkie, war veteran Baylis.
The couple finds comfort in each other, yet they are already far too deep in a wild downward spiral.
The possibility of redemption arises, with hope for some semblance of a "normal life", but Bayliss and Froggy are unable to find the strength and control to clean themselves up.
Screen Daily said the "film treads a well-worn path", but the "superb performances of Jacobs and Sparks keep the viewer going for a long while.
