Andrea Arnold directs Nykiya Adams, Franz Rogowski and Barry Keoghan in this British magical realist drama about an troubled estate kid who crosses path with a man who might be a bird.

A Canterbury Tale on E-scooters. Poverty porn but as constant vulnerability rather than a glamorisation. Not that the Barry Keoghan’s bad behaviour / sweet Daddying sequences aren’t fun. Coming Of Age rough and tough with a low key mythical side quest. Possibly my favourite Andrea Arnold flick so far.
