London Film Festival Review: Andrea Arnold’s ‘Bird’
“There is an intriguing idea that Arnold weaves throughout ‘Bird,’ one that flows naturally from Bailey’s isolation.”
“There is an intriguing idea that Arnold weaves throughout ‘Bird,’ one that flows naturally from Bailey’s isolation.”
“Part coming-of-age drama, part quirky foray into magical realism, ‘Bird’ is a difficult film to nail down. Written and directed by Andrea Arnold, the 2024 movie sometimes doesn’t seem to know exactly what it’s trying to communicate.”
“‘Cow’ strikes just the right balance between the filmmaker’s self-awareness, which punctuates the movie’s soundtrack selections, and Arnold’s long-game feminist commentary.”
“Andrea Arnold’s work encapsulates the liminal stage of feminine adolescence.”
“In search of new worlds and experiences, this year’s FNC has been a journey from the physical world to the metaphysical.”
