About Bird
Academy Award-winner Andrea Arnold (American Honey, Fish Tank) returns with a tender, striking and extraordinarily surprising coming-of-age fable.
12-year-old Bailey lives with her devoted but chaotic single dad and wayward brother 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 her typically empathetic social realism, Arnold's latest strides to the wildly poetic rhythm of her own drum.
