Recommended for ages 12+ 12-year-old Bailey knows nothing but chaos, rough street life and parents who behave like angry teenagers. Daddy Bugs comes home with a toad, whose hallucinogenic slime will allow him to rake in the money for his and his girlfriend's wedding on the black market. Bailey resists the impending event by hanging out with her brother Hunter and his gang and checking in on her mom's family. Longing for attention and adventure, she meets the Bird. A stranger who has come into her life to prove that everything can change for the better. Energetic, annoyed "On the cliff in the rye field" in the nowhere of England. In her nearly 30-year directorial career, British auteur Arnold has consistently adhered to the social environment and anthropological texture: be it the arrival of a stepfather ("Aquarium" (2009), traveling souls ("American Sweet" (2016)) or the life of a dairy cow ("Cow"). (2021)).However, this time the director introduced a bit of magical realism... The strength of the drama about a young girl's self-identity wanderings, which was included in the Cannes main competition, is the disarming ensemble - it features the sparkling debutante Niki Adams, the enchanting Franz Rogovskis ("The Great Freedom" (2021)) and Barry Keogan ( "Saltbärna" (2023)).
