Dir. Andrea Arnold
2024 – 118 mins – UK, US, France and Germany – Language: English
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 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, a mysterious stranger on a journey of his own. A wondrous portrait of the transition from childhood to adolescence that remains grounded in empathetic social realism.
Andrea Arnold’s tender contemporary fable…Newcomer Nykiya Adams triumphs in this otherworldly kitchen sink story of a young girl who forms a bond with a peculiar stranger.
-BFI
This latest film from renowned English filmmaker Andrea Arnold is a compelling, ultimately joyous story that tackles themes of identity, sexism, loneliness, and class struggle. The director’s empathy and skill at showing us beauty despite dire circumstances elevates Bird beyond its roots. Add to that a crystalline thread of magic realism and the result is an ode to the wondrous transition from childhood to adolescence.
