Bird

In cinemas from 24/01/2025 12-year-old Bailey (charismatic debutante Nykiya Adams) lives in the suburbs with her father Bug (Barry Keoghan as another horrifying brute). Kuiisa informs her daughter that she is planning to marry her new girlfriend, conflicting feelings arise in the young girl and the girl faces a new life. When Bailey meets a man named Linnu (FranzRogowski) by chance, the drama of class struggle, sexism and loneliness rises into a beautiful magical realism centering on a young girl's coming of age as a teenage woman. The new work "The Bird" by the great British filmmaker Andrea Arnold ("Aquarium" 2009, "American Honey" 2016) premiered in the main competition program of the Cannes Film Festival and was exceptionally well received by critics. Tristan Priimägi even called it the highest-flying film in Arnold's impressive filmography.
