Bird

Bird is a hybrid — part charming fantasy, part gritty social realism — and always exuberant. Bailey, at 12, lives with her older half-brother, Hunter, and her manic dad, Bug, who is planning to marry. Bailey is not happy about this, but when she meets Bird, a strange fellow who thinks himself an avian, she finds a friend who is tolerant of her anger with her hyper father. Andrea Arnold, one of Britain’s leading filmmakers, has fashioned a breathtaking fable. Played Cannes.
