    when I woke up this morning I did not expect to get emotional watching a shirtless fully tatted Barry Keoghan sing along to Coldplay’s Yellow in order to make a toad produce hallucinogenic slime but here we are

    The hyper speed moments of youth crashing against the hurdles of adulthood. So much will be said about Barry Keoghan, Franz Rogowski, and Nykiya Adams, and rightfully so, they are electrifying. But add Bird to the list of movies that not only accurately captures the lives…

    a step forward for andrea arnold, simultaneously chaotic and serene with excellent camera-work and stellar performances. i appreciated the fantastical imagery and varied tone; barry keoghan kills it

Bird finds beauty and wonder in every frame (one that Arnold has slyly shaped to evoke the format and curved corners of a smartphone screen, echoing the way Bailey captures private moments of visual poetry). The film celebrates rather than judges its erratic and occasionally challenging characters It’s the closest Andrea Arnold has come to a feelgood flick.

A classic Andrea Arnold picture, complete with striking new talent and moving insight into life lived on the margins.

With scenes of harrowing violence, the film often feels totally unsafe: no adult’s motives are beyond reproach. In true Andrea Arnold style, though, it’s also a life-enhancing tale that soars with unexpected grace, optimism and faith in humanity.
