Writer-director Andrea Arnold returns to the gritty social realism of Fish Tank and the Oscar-winning Wasp, but as always, the British auteur subverts expectations—here taking flight with a fantastical tale of transformation. Twelve-year-old Bailey (newcomer Nykiya Adams) lives with her single father, Bug (a tattooed Barry Keoghan), and brother Hunter (Jason Buda) in a squat in North Kent. Bug struggles to find time for his children, leading Bailey to seek adventure elsewhere.
Leaving the graffiti-covered walls of the squat, she meets Bird (Franz Rogowski), an eccentric dreamer who dares Bailey to spread her wings. Bird is a striking coming-of-age tale that hides its magic in plain sight.
