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 marginalised 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
Bird is Andrea Arnold’s most ambitious work. It also might be her truest masterpiece.
Barry Keoghan is arguably the most electric actor working today, and he absolutely ignites Bird.
Adams carries the film on her young shoulders and is aided by the support of Keoghan, whose portrayal as her charming, volatile, loving and erratic father is a tour de force.
