This year’s Cannes competition began with a film set in a working-class environment where a young woman with a single mother dreamed of escaping it all through dance. It was Agathe Riedinger’s Wild Diamond, but squint the eyes and forget the sunny coastal scenery and you could have been watching Andrea Arnold’s Fish Tank, a winner of the jury prize here fifteen years ago. Arnold now returns to the Croisette with Bird, remarkably just her third narrative film since and her closest to it, in many ways––up-and-coming stars next to non-professional actors, kitchen-sink realism, great music, sketchy dudes––although this time with Franz Rogowski playing a queer-coded Mary Poppins who might be a seagull.
Bird stars Nykiya Adams as Bailey, a young girl living with her father, Bug (a tattooed Barry Keoghan in a touching performance), in a free-spirited community house in a British coastal town.

Andrea Arnold’s initial inspiration for her Cannes competition entry “Bird” was perhaps not what many people might have been expecting.
“A very long time ago, I had the image a tall, thin man with a long penis, standing on a roof,” she explained at the press conference for the film on Friday when asked about her initial visual prompt. “But I didn’t know if he was good or bad or what he was.”
From this bizarre starting point, Arnold crafted a social realist drama about a family on the fringes of society living by British seaside and an unexpected visitor who becomes close to a young girl entering puberty. Alongside stars Barry Keoghan and Franz Rogoswki, she once again peppered her cast with first-timers.
For Keoghan, he didn’t even need to look at the script before signing up, with Arnold having been on a list of filmmakers...

After prancing through the hallways showing his man-ness at the end of Saltburn last year, Barry Keoghan is back with a another illustrious ditty performance in Bird. In the Andrea Arnold movie that had its world premiere Thursday night at the Cannes Film Festival, Keoghan plays a young father, and at one moment he croons an off-key version of Blur’s “The Universal” in what is a sweet moment with dance involved.
For the actor, music is part of the full commitment to the roles he plays.
“I don’t think I can dance. I’m a bad dancer,” the Oscar-nominated actor confessed during a post-premiere press conference in Cannes on Friday. “I think the beauty of dancing on screen is the effort to try.”

So, that happened.
And by "that," I mean not much at all.
What is there to really say about Grey's Anatomy Season 20 Episode 8? Other than it was an episode, things happened, but it had little importance or substance.
It's probably because so much of what has happened feels redundant.
Much of the hour felt like a combination of at least four or five previous episodes from the series.
I am scared of not living up to my patient's expectations.
Amelia Permalink: I am scared of not living up to my patient's expectations. Added: May 16, 2024
Things like that are bound to happen on a series that has been on for 20 years, but when the combination isn't right, you're left feeling like you've seen it all before and can predict anything.
Of course, we knew that Teddy and Owen couldn't take the day off without some type of medical drama involving them.

Eight years ago, the writer-director Andrea Arnold packed up her handheld-camera brand of kitchen-sink British austerity and took it across the pond to make “American Honey,” a movie about a wolf pack of kids in a van who seemed to incarnate the tumult of the 21st century. The movie, crafted in a style that I thought of as hip-hop Dardenne brothers, was an indie explosion that felt like a landmark. Now, though, in “Bird,” the first dramatic feature that Arnold has made since, she’s back to chronicling the miserablism of aimless, scroungy British young folk who experience their lives as a dead zone. Forgive me if I wish she hadn’t left the party so soon.
For years, Arnold has been a Cannes darling, and a critics’ darling too. So I expect to be out of the loop when I say that “Bird,” which premiered at Cannes today, doesn...

British auteur Andrea Arnold follows up her last feature, the poignant, non-verbal slice-of-farmyard-life that is the documentary Cow, with a new member of her cinematic menagerie: drama Bird, an uplifting competitor for Cannes’ Palme d’Or.
With mostly human characters and actual dialogue, in some ways this is taxonomically more like her gritty-as-asphalt, early social-realist work, especially Fish Tank and Oscar-winning short Wasp, which, like Bird, were shot in the southerly county of Kent, U.K., where Arnold grew up. But then suddenly, out of the milieu’s marshy semi-urban landscape of empty beer cans, cigarette butts, domestic abuse and despair, the film takes magical-realist flight and transforms into something unlike anything Arnold’s done before. Thanks to the director’s magisterial knack with actors (especially non-professionals such as terrific adolescent discovery Nykiya Adams, who, as the protagonist, is in nearly every frame of the film), the result is quite entrancing.

Andrea Arnold was last in Cannes with Cow in 2021, a documentary about a bovine’s pitiful existence on a farm from birth to death. Her new film, Bird, might switch animal classifications — and return her to narrative features about human beings — but there’s connective tissue between the two. Once more, Arnold is perfecting her meandering journey through marginalized existences.
This time, we’re in Gravesend, in Kent, a estuary town east of London, in the dying days of summer, when the grass has yellowed but the sweaty heat hasn’t quite abated. Bailey (Nykiya Adams) is a 12-year-old mixed-race girl who is old beyond her years, as everyone in her chaotic community seems to be. Her father Bug (Barry Keoghan) is barely twice her age; her 14-year-old half brother Hunter (Jason Buda) is a masked vigilante, teaming up with a similarly pint-sized gang to take revenge against anyone they...

Barry Keoghan smiled from ear to ear as Andrea Arnold’s latest film, “Bird,” earned a seven-minute standing ovation at its Cannes Film Festival premiere on Thursday.
Festival favorite Arnold, who brought the Shia Labeouf-starring “American Honey” to Cannes in 2016 and her documentary “Cow” in 2021, basked in appreciation as the audience applauded the drama. “Thank you, this is really lovely but I really want to go and party right now,” she said as laughter erupted in the room.
While Keoghan was the biggest name in “Bird,” the loudest cheers were offered to his young co-stars, including Jason Buda and Jasmine Jobson. Some of the cast, although they may have been on the red carpet outside, were too young to make it into the screening.

There is only one Andrea Arnold, as much as her contemporaries in Europe and beyond try to imitate her particular style: emotionally heightened social realism with often first-time actors playing characters not far from their real selves. That itself started in the 1950s with British kitchen sink realism. Yet Arnold has done much to imbue it with a radical poetry that finds the beauty in a hardscrabble life, from a volatile East London teenager with hip-hop ambitions in “Fish Tank” (2009) to the rumbling road odyssey “American Honey” (2016) that found Arnold shooting in the United States for the first time.
Her latest film “Bird,” continuing a tradition for one-word titles centered around animalia Arnold started in 2001 with her short film “Dog” and more recently with the documentary “Cow,” is a departure for Arnold in a key way: This sensitively drawn if opaque coming-of-age fable about 12-year-old Bailey (newcomer Nykiya Adams) uses,...

Is anyone else getting tired of filler?
While there were some strong moments during Grey's Anatomy Season 20 Episode 7, it's also evident that the series is full of filler, and we have a lot to say about that.
Join Grey's Fanatics Haley Whitmire White, Lucy Peel, and Jasmine Blu as they discuss it all.
Do you enjoy these medical case-focused installments, or are you missing the interpersonal drama?
Haley: It's fine, but I miss old Grey's with the drama, big events, and crises. The filler episodes are a little boring. This particular one was great, though, and I was glad to see the writers shed light on another very serious issue (high rates of maternal mortality among Black women).
Lucy: I really enjoyed the episode. I was happy to have a break from the petty back-and-forth.
And while it was medically focused, it moved everyone's stories forward just a bit.

While the film industry mourned the loss of one of their favorite Cannes rituals, a beach party thrown every year by the Toronto International Film Festival, TIFF CEO Cameron Bailey promised to throw a “refreshed” version next year. He dropped into Cannes to announce a landmark $23 million Cad investment supported by the Canadian federal government, for a new content initiative to begin in 2026 that will expand TIFF’s scope of offerings. This is the single largest government investment TIFF has received since the campaign to build TIFF Lightbox. The three-year investment will enable the organization to accelerate planning and development work that is currently underway.
TIFF is looking for good news, as the pandemic and the loss of festival sponsors including Bell — the theater complex used to be called Bell Lightbox — made a dent in the festival’s finances.

Now that we know that ABC’s Station 19 is ending with Season 7 — barring any sort of 11th-hour save — it’s time to prepare our goodbyes to Seattle’s finest firefighters. Well, most of them anyway. We have a feeling that we’ll be seeing Jason George’s Ben Warren again as Station 19 predecessor Grey’s Anatomy continues into Season 21 this fall. Ben is, after all, married to Dr. Miranda Bailey (Chandra Wilson), one of two original Grey’s Anatomy characters still appearing on the ABC medical drama full-time. Wilson has already challenged herself to stay on Grey’s until “the very last episode, the very last day, the very last scene,” and Bailey and Ben’s relationship will surely stand the test of time. So we can count on Ben and Bailey sharing screen time on Grey’s Anatomy at least periodically in Season 21 and beyond. But might Jason George become a full-time Grey’s star again,...

The Toronto International Film Fest will launch an official market, kicking off in 2026 and boosted by a generous C$23 million (US$16.9 million) of funding from Canada’s Federal Government. TIFF organizers said the new market will be a “game-changer” for the Canadian and wider international business. Festival CEO, Cameron Bailey, told Deadline he wants to see industry attendance more than double.
“We have been a great platform to buy and sell and pitch for so many years, but I think there’s so much more we can do by providing bigger, more robust infrastructure, and more opportunities for people to meet,” the festival boss said. “We have plans to grow from about 5,000 industry delegates to over 12,000 in the next few years.”
The hefty government investment, announced as part of the Federal budget in April, will be spread across three years. Bailey and Anita Lee, Chief Programming Officer, TIFF, are here...

With British director Andrea Arnold you never know quite what to expect. Her previous outing was in 2021 with the documentary Cow which detailed an animal’s existence from birth to death.
With Bird she’s back to her more gritty social-realist dramas such as Fish Tank and Red Road, dealing with a dysfunctional family and how 12-year-old Bailey (a knock-out début performance from Nyklya Adams) copes with an older brother Hunter (Jason Edward Buda) and her dad Bug (Saltburn’s Barry Keoghan), who has troubles of his own.
In emotional age he doesn’t seem that much older than the children, but is planning an 'official' wedding, to the embarrassment of Bailey.
It’s set in Gravesend in Kent in a graffiti strewn apartment block where Bailey retreats into her now little world in a curtain-covered bed. To seek solace she shoots videos on her phone - mainly seagulls and anyone she happens.

Dog toys and roving Regency-era balls. Small-artisan hand-etched mirrors and allergy medicine. “Bridgerton” has become so much more than a TV show. Heading into Season 3 of Shonda Rhimes’ massively popular period romance series, Netflix has found that viewers aren’t just invested in the love story of new leading couple Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton) and Penelope Featherington (Nicola Coughlan) — they want to invest in the brand itself.
That means a fandom spending its dollars on a growing merch and events business that helps them celebrate each new season of the show, which is based on Julia Quinn’s romance novels. Equally important, it tides them over between installments (which take quite some time to produce).

The table has been set, and the stakes raised, for The Rookie‘s Season 6 finale, airing Tuesday, May 21 on ABC.
A lot happened in this week’s episode, which opened with Bradford (played by Eric Winter) being quickly benched after he was basically framed, by Pearson, for Mad Dog’s death (which was actually a suicide). Chen (Melissa O’Neill) went undercover as a nanny for one of the underworld’s premiere money launderers, only to learn that Monica (Bridget Regan) would be paying visits.

The Real Housewives of Atlanta has set its cast for Season 16, and there are some shocks. The long-running series has undergone a major shakeup with only two stars – Kenya Moore and Drew Sidora – from last season returning as regulars when production begins again this month. Joining them will be Porsha Williams, author and podcast host Brittany Eady, restauranteur Kelli Ferrell, and NBA wife Angela Oakley. Shamea Morton Mwangi has also been announced as a full-time Housewife. Supermodel Cynthia Bailey will also return in a Friend role. Bailey’s a familiar face to the franchise as she was a Housewife from Seasons 3 through 13. Additionally, she led the initial cast of Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip. Those exiting the franchise include Shereé Whitfield, Marlo Hampton, and Sanya Richards-Ross who all joined as full-time Housewives back in Season 14. Kandi Burruss also won’t be returning; she revealed she would be leaving the show at the 2024 Grammys,...

From one Mr. Bridgerton to another: Luke Newton opened up about how he took inspiration from former Bridgerton leading man, Jonathan Bailey, before taking on one of the main roles in the hit Netflix series’ third season.
Newton and Bailey joined co-stars Nicola Coughlan, Claudia Jessie, Simone Ashley, Ruth Gemmell, Adjoa Andoh and more of the the show’s cast and crew on the blue carpet in New York City on Monday to celebrate the world premiere of Bridgerton season three.
While speaking with The Hollywood Reporter at the premiere, Newton — who portrays Colin Bridgerton, one of the main love interests this season — revealed that he began tuning into Bailey’s approach to Anthony Bridgerton last season.

Once a show becomes popular, there are many celebrities who want to be a part of the story and have a cameo. Quinta Brunson, the creator of The Abbott Elementary, once shared that she has a long list of people who have contacted her hoping to be involved in the story in some way.
Heartstopper, originally created by Alice Oseman as a graphic novel and then adapted into a series, is probably no exception. Judging by the story of Jonathan Bailey, who was extremely happy to get his guest role in the show, there must be a long line of celebrities who want to do the same.

The balance between medical cases and touches of personal storylines continues.
The interns were mostly endearing during Grey's Anatomy Season 20 Episode 7, but the connections to the medical cases were most compelling.
If it slipped anyone's mind that the new batch of interns has shades of the Og interns, then this installment was a reminder of how much Simone Griffith is her class' Meredith Grey.
Most of the season has focused on the interns simply navigating life at Grey Sloan.
And sometimes, we don't delve into their personal elements nearly as much as we should.
The balance between giving us more insight into these new characters and providing surface-level connections to medical cases has been challenging.
But the installment revisited not only the pain of Simone dealing with a grandmother with dementia who still looks at Simione and sees the daughter she lost but also Simone's harrowing backstory.

It was an easy, breezy installment, but some noteworthy moments.
We have Yasuda leading the pack as best intern on Grey's Anatomy Season 20 Episode 6, while Simone and Blue continued to bond.
And Beltran had to juggle Levi and Amelink.
Join the discussion with Haley Whitmire White, Lucy Peel, and Jasmine Blu!
What were your overall thoughts on this episode?
Haley: It was fine for a filler episode. Nothing terribly exciting happened, but it set up several potential big storylines. A couple of moments made me think we're in for some pretty big reveals towards the end of the season.
Lucy: I liked seeing different pairings here. Link and Beltran, Webber and Adams, Kwan and Griffith. Otherwise, I was underwhelmed. I am sure we're in for a big season finale, possibly disaster-centric.

Plot: Five women participate in a hiking retreat but only four come out the other side. Federal agents Aaron Falk and Carmen Cooper head into the mountains hoping to find their informant still alive.
Review: We reviewed the Australian mystery drama The Dry a couple of years ago. We enjoyed Eric Bana’s first Australian film after moving to Hollywood and found director Robert Connolly’s adaptation of Jane Harper’s novel to be refreshing. That film told the story of a federal investigator who returns home to investigate the murder of a childhood friend, which bears a distinct connection to a crime he himself was accused of decades prior. Bana and Connolly have reunited for the second novel in the Aaron Falk trilogy, Force of Nature. Carrying the subtitle that indicates it as a sequel to The Dry, Force of Nature is a substantially different story. Shifting from a...

Jonathan Bailey was so blown away by “Heartstopper” that he just knew he had to be on the show.
“Like so many people, I watched the first [season] and thought it was one of the biggest, most beautiful gifts to so many people, and I wish I had that growing up,” the “Fellow Travelers” and “Bridgerton” star told me at the Met Gala Monday night.
It was announced in late April that Bailey will make a cameo appearance as Jack Maddox, an Instagram-famous classicist and celebrity crush of Charlie (Joe Locke). “I had a mutual friend who knows [executive producer Patrick Walters] and I just said, ‘If there’s anything I could do to help and be a part of that story,’” Bailey recalled.
He said that the series, based on Alice Oseman’s graphic novel series of the same name, “really has changed the way people could grow and communicate around who they are.

Regardless, fans are ready to see what happens next on the show and stars promise you will be on the edge of your seat.
Season 20 Of Grey’s Anatomy
The 20th season of the show has been dramatic. There has been plenty happening. The interns all got in trouble as someone died in the Or. This is not the first time something like this has happened. However, Nick gave over his control over the interns to Dr. Bailey. She trained and taught Meredith Grey, so the interns have one of the best teachers available.

Do you know which sentence is guaranteed to have us on the edge of our seats? "Officers down."
With a full-blown mafia war breaking out in a hospital during The Rookie Season 6 Episode 8, it will undoubtedly be an exhilarating installment.
And we cannot wait to see which of our favorite characters will be in peril.
One of the things to look forward to is Bradford and Thorsen teaming up with each other.
While that's nothing new on the surface, since Bradford has been the one to train Thorsen more often than not, it's why they're partnered together that's worth getting excited over.
The synopsis teases that the two will work together and participate in a Metro Ops mission.
We already know that Bradford lost his position in Metro due to the events in The Rookie Season 6 Episode 5.

Simone and Blue. Seriously, it's taken quite some time to lean into it overtly. But Grey's Anatomy Season 20 Episode 6 delivered on the intern friendships blossoming, giving us that nostalgic feel of Og Magic with a fresh perspective.
In general, the installment had those shades of how the series used to be, especially with its balance on medical cases and doctors actually practicing and personal interactions.
One theme that has consistently carried over is the focus on mental health and the attempts to prevent doctors from burning out.
It's not just lip service, as it's a genuine issue that came to the forefront, forcing everyone to pay attention where they previously ignored it during the Covid pandemic.
The tables have turned a bit, with many people not pursuing the field fervently or dropping out of it. It has also prompted people to reevaluate how...

Bailey (Chandra Wilson) has had enough. In TV Insider’s preview of the May 2 episode of Grey’s Anatomy, Bailey needs a moment to rant to Owen (Kevin McKidd) about everything on her plate. Bailey’s got a lot of complaints she needs to get off her chest. “Do you know how tired I am? I have three jobs. I run a clinic. I’m residency director, a full-time surgeon… and I’m a mom,” Bailey tells Owen. “Actually, that’s four jobs. I’m lucky if I get five hours of sleep a night.” She’s upset because she took time out of her “busy, sleep-deprived life to do something about the well-being of our interns, so they don’t end up stressed or run down or burnt out because I am a damn good teacher, and I care about these people.” Owen hasn’t had a moment to get a word in yet.

Pixar has given the world some of the most successful animated films of all time. Near the top of the list is 2009’s Up. One of the most iconic parts of the movie is the main character’s house, which is able to fly up into the air thanks to thousands of helium balloons tied to the roof.
Fans love recreations of their favorite things from movies in the real world. But this time, things might have gone a bit too far. Airbnb is offering customers the chance to stay in a recreation of the house from Up, complete with being lifted into the air via crane. But the edifice is generating doubts as many potential customers appear to view the whole thing as too risky.

Luke Newton is doing his homework in how to be a Bridgerton leading man.
Before season 3 — which will see his character, Colin Bridgerton, become the lover of Penelope Featherington (Nicola Coughlan) — Newton sought out his leading man predecessors, Regé-Jean Page and Jonathan Bailey, for advice.
Speaking to InStyle, Newton said that Page, who played the series’ first leading man, Simon, the Duke of Hastings, told him to go on a “big holiday before all the madness starts.”
“[Page] sort of grabbed me, gave me a big hug and was like, ‘Are you ready for this, bro?’” Newton said. Page departed Bridgerton following season 1 and has never reprised his role as Simon, husband to Daphne Bridgerton (Phoebe Dynevor).
Bailey had a different path. He became a mainstay and led season 2, which saw him fall in love with Kate Sharma (Simone Ashley). Newton told the outlet that Bailey has “been there kind of the whole way for me.
