This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
Bird explores themes of identity, dysfunction, and resilience through the story of Bailey, a multiracial young girl navigating a chaotic family life filled with crises: her half-brother Hunter's vigilante conflicts, her abusive stepfather, her father's impulsive marriage plans, and her role as protector to her siblings and mediator in her brother's relationships.

The color palette, as muted as concrete, adds to the atmosphere. And indeed, to fully convey the power dynamics and deliver that shocking moment, a film of this length is absolutely necessary.
