Bird

Andrea Arnold blends magical realism, comedy and a bit of mystery into this coming-of-age fable starring newcomer Nykiya Adams and Barry Keoghan.

BIRD | Official Trailer | Now Streaming Exclusively

 

Bailey (Nykiya Adams), a 12-year-old girl living on the margins in Kent, struggles with the pain of managing a dad (a high-spirited Barry Keoghan) fixated on feckless money-making schemes. Bailey's mom has an abusive boyfriend, and her older sibling is drifting toward violent crime. She unexpectedly finds relief in Bird, a quietly charismatic stranger (Franz Rogowski) with a fluid identity and family problems of his own. 

Writer-director Andrea Arnold, unparalleled in providing us with clear-eyed, compassionate portraits of troubled and restless youth (Fish Tank, American Honey), spikes her social realism with transporting moments of magic, comedy and an abundance of nature. 

D: Andrea Arnold, UK, 2024, 1h58m

This film premiered at the 2024 Telluride Film Festival and also screened at the White River Indie Film Festival in 2025.
