Justin Chang New Yorker The story may lose you -- as it lost me -- with a magical-realist turn that magnifies, rather than minimizes, the tortured-animal symbolism that has often dogged Arnold’s work. May 30, 2024 Full Review Peter Howell Toronto Star There are distinct Frank Capra vibes in this brilliantly barmy dramedy from Andrea Arnold. Rated: 3/4 May 28, 2024 Full Review Dave Calhoun Time Out If ever a film puts its arm round a kid and says: ‘Don’t worry, I’ve got you’, that’s "Bird" and Bailey. She’s a character you feel Arnold would lie on railtracks to protect – and that’s a powerful, moving instinct to share. Rated: 4/5 May 21, 2024 Full Review Gisela Savdie El Heraldo The movie exposes issues that afflict disadvantaged social classes such as violence, drug addiction, and the lack of supervision of children, leaving much to reflect on. [Full review in Spanish] Jul 14, 2024 Full Review Carlos F. Heredero Caimán Cuadernos de Cine A film that essentially talks about orphanhood. [Full review in Spanish] Jun 13, 2024 Full Review Àngel Quintana Caimán Cuadernos de Cine Bird ends up mixing social realism with some touches of fantasy, almost bordering on the ridiculous at times.
