Bird 2024

★★★★

Watched Sep 05, 2024

Seen at the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival 

Bird is a singular examination of family in both its biological and found forms, and the power that one offers to preserve the other. Its magical elements are surprising, but never distract or detract from its themes. A uniformly strong cast, with Nykia Adams and Franz Rogowksi standing out especially.
