Bird is a 2024 drama film written and directed by Andrea Arnold (Fish Tank, Red Road) and starring Nykiya Adams in her debut role, alongside Barry Keoghan (Chernobyl, Saltburn, Banshees of Inisherin), and Franz Rogowski (Transit, Passages, Great Freedom, Disco Boy).

Bailey (Adams) lives with her brother Hunter and her father Bug (Keoghan), who raises them alone in a squat in northern Kent, Bug doesn’t have much time to devote to them.

Bailey meets an eccentric, troubled guy called Bird (Rogowski) and while everything else in her life is alienating, her friendship with Bird provides her with some degree of stability.

Although Bird was largely overlooked by the main award ceremonies, Arnold did receive BAFTA and Palme d’ Or nominations, Adams also received a number of nominations for her incredible debut performance.
