A pleasant coming-of-age drama disguised as a crime/romance. The setup is pretty simple, but the performances are nice, the setting is interesting and the direction is on point. Mario Cases could've added a tiny bit more focus on the presentation, just to make the film stand out more, but that's just nitpicking.
The drama isn't too original, neither is the way the plot develops, but the central duo is strong enough to carry the film and the street art angle gives this a fun twist. The pacing is perfect, as is the runtime. I don't have anything negative to say about My Loneliness Has Wings, just that it doesn't leave enough of an impression to rate it even higher.
