SYNOPSIS

The long-awaited return to fiction filmmaking from Academy Award-winner Andrea Arnold (American Honey, Fish Tank), BIRD is a tender, striking and extraordinarily surprising coming-of-age fable about marginalized life in the fringes of contemporary society. 12-year-old Bailey (astounding newcomer Nykiya Adams) lives with her devoted but chaotic single dad Bug (Barry Keoghan, Saltburn) and wayward brother Hunter in a squat in Gravesend, north Kent. Approaching puberty and seeking attention and adventure, Bailey’s fractured home life is transformed when she encounters Bird (Franz Rogowski, Passages), a mysterious stranger on a journey of his own. A wondrous portrait of the transition from childhood to adolescence that remains grounded in her typically empathetic social realism, Arnold’s latest strides to the wildly poetic rhythm of her own drum.

REVIEWS

“This is what Arnold is so great at capturing: people just doing their best, which often means they surpass every expectation without even knowing it. Her generosity toward her characters is also generosity toward us.”

Stephanie Zacharek

TIME Magazine

“There are hilarious scenes, cheesy moments, and even self-aware references that Saltburn fans will appreciate, but there is also a great deal of poetry in this stunning film, mostly conveyed through magic realism, which Arnold and cinematographer Robbie Ryan (Poor Things) master flawlessly.”

Serena Seghedoni

Loud and Clear Reviews

“An often shimmering, lovely, and emotionally generous entry in a career that’s never faltered.”
