Bird (2024)

Arnold, known for her films Fish Tank, American Honey, and the documentary Cow, is back with another emotionally fraught examination into the lives of the economically marginalized with Bird. The film's strong cast and Arnold's bold vision make it incredibly engaging and truly satisfying. 

Adams breaks out here as a young woman coming of age in devastating economic circumstances. She meets an odd man called Bird whose own journey has been incredibly difficult, and she finds connection to a family she resents. She is supported in this by a strong supporting cast including Keoghan and Rogowski who both bring their own brands of strange yet compelling screen presence to the film. 

Bird is a big swing that works and has a lot of interesting things to think about. Be prepared for a bit of surrealness but a whole lot of emotion.
