Andrea Arnold's 'Bird' to Premiere with Barry Keoghan as a Struggling Father

The film explores themes of family and friendship through a young girl's journey in a marginalized community.

Barry Keoghan stars as Bug, a chaotic single father, in Andrea Arnold's latest film, 'Bird.'
The film follows 12-year-old Bailey, played by newcomer Nykiya Adams, as she navigates life in a rundown neighborhood in northern Kent.
Bailey forms an unexpected friendship with a mysterious nomad named Bird, portrayed by Franz Rogowski.
Director Andrea Arnold employs a spontaneous, script-free approach to capture authenticity in the actors' performances.
'Bird' will be released in theaters on November 8, following its acquisition by MUBI after a successful debut at the Cannes Film Festival.
