Birdchick has posted her review on her blog

Are there inaccurate birds and situations–totally.  But they weren’t that egregious.  I think it made birding on Attu a little more glamorous that what it really is and I’m not sure they fully captured the extreme weather you will find yourself in and not see the bird.  But I think it did express the fun, the camaraderie…and even the lifer dance!

What I loved about the movie was that it’s a snapshot of what it’s like to be a hardcore birder.  They got the essence of it, what drives some of us to watch birds.  They don’t make birders look like nerds, dweebs, the awkwardly socialized.  They portrayed us as people who are like anyone else, but who happen to be passionate about seeing birds…not unlike a sports fan."
