    Babygirl

    ★★

    If this is the zeitgeist, get me a drink! Beat for beat this was a bore. Nicole gives it her all but like   Romy the high powered CEO of a robotics shop, This felt like a movie made by Ai, all mechanical botox and 90’s switcheroo.

If you're a fan of her work ( American Honey , Fish tank) you’ll come to this expecting poetic moments carved out of tales of lives lived in economy class.  Bird duly delivers with enough of a smattering of warmth that what could otherwise have felt pretty bleak becomes uplifting but never romanticised. Barry Keoghan ( Bug)  is the man of the moment,  and with those eyes comes…
