Bird presents itself as an unvarnished depiction that, even with some problems in its rhythm and the unusual combination of fantastical elements and real life, provides a profoundly relatable encounter, made all the more impactful by Nykiya Adams’ remarkably authentic acting. Andrea Arnold guides her own story with a close-up, empathetic perspective on the difficulties and internal battles faced by a young woman undergoing change, emphasizing both the complicated nature of growing up and the delicate loveliness of childhood purity. Viewers who are drawn to Bailey's thoughtfulness and openness will likely consider Bird a moving and memorable tale. Rating: B-
