In Bird, Andrea Arnold paints a raw and visceral portrait of innocence, survival, and societal fragmentation. Nykiya Adams delivers a mesmerizing performance as Bailey, a teenager navigating life on the fringes of Kent, England. Her father's shadowy dealings and the so-called protectors blur the lines between justice and violence. With standout performances by Barry Keoghan and Franz Rogowski, Bird offers a poignant reflection on the complexities of youth in a fractured world.
