It has been announced that the Barry Keoghan-starring drama Bird will be released in Irish cinemas on Friday 8 November.
Bird is the new film from Oscar-winning writer-director Andrea Arnold (American Honey, Fish Tank, Cow) and stars Keoghan and Franz Rogowski (Passages) alongside newcomers Nykiya Adams and Jason Buda.
It received its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival in May.
"As with Arnold's previous work, it is an examination of life in the fringes of society," says the synopsis.
"Twelve-year-old Bailey (Adams) lives with her single dad Bug (Keoghan) and brother Hunter (Buda) in a squat in North Kent," the synopsis continues.
"Bug doesn't have much time for his kids and Bailey, who is approaching puberty, seeks attention and adventure elsewhere."
Rogowski plays the titular Bird in a film that sees writer-director Arnold reunite with her long-time Irish collaborator, the Oscar-nominated cinematographer Robbie Ryan (Poor Things, The Favourite).
