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.

Natalia Keogan AV Club While Bird still employs an interest in socially vulnerable characters, its viewpoint feels less rooted in authentic struggle than in sensationalistic strife. Rated: B- Nov 8, 2024 Full Review Clarisse Loughrey Independent (UK) It’s a fragile but beautiful vision, and marks the strongest blend yet of Andrea Arnold’s primary directives as a filmmaker. Rated: 4/5 Nov 8, 2024 Full Review Zachary Barnes Wall Street Journal Though the more fantastic symbolic concepts of “Bird” don’t take flight as they’re meant to, the film’s human portraits give it vibrancy. Nov 8, 2024 Full Review Mark Dujsik Mark Reviews Movies The story feels aimless, perhaps, because Bailey herself is that way, too. Rated: 3/4 Nov 8, 2024 Full Review Christopher Llewellyn Reed Hammer to Nail There’s a yearning for escape that exists side by side with a desire to remain grounded in one’s own universe that is perfectly captured by the push and pull of the intimate frame. Nov 8, 2024 Full Review Edward Douglas The Weekend Warrior Andrea Arnold reminds us quite definitively what a fantastic filmmaker she always has been, and how she’s able to get to the core of humans who might come from a different part of the world and social status than those who will watch her movies. Rated: 8.5/10 Nov 7, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
