Academy Award winner Andrea Arnold is taking her biggest risk yet with “Bird.”

Barry Keoghan and Franz Rogowski anchor a coming-of-age fable that spreads its wings with surrealism — expanding the world of a young girl (played by newcomer star Nykiya Adams) and Arnold’s filmography in the process.

“Cow” and “American Honey” filmmaker Arnold writes and directs “Bird,” which captures life on the “marginalized fringes of contemporary society” in north Kent, England. The film follows 12-year-old Bailey (Adams), who lives with her chaotic single dad Bug (Keoghan) and uncle Hunter (Jason Buda). But after she encounters nomad Bird (Rogowski), she realizes the meaning of adult friendship.

Jasmine Jobson, Joanne Matthews, James Nelson-Joyce, Rhys Yates, and Sarah Beth Harber also star.

The IndieWire review for “Bird” charted writer/director Arnold’s “shrewd” ability to direct young stars much like Katie Jarvis (“Fish Tank”) and Sasha Lane (“American Honey”), and now, Adams.
