    The article contains some appeals to authority and dichotomous depictions. It also uses inflammatory rhetoric in describing certain characters and events.
    • > Andrea Arnold’s flawed, garrulous new movie is a chaotic social-realist adventure with big, chancy performances...
    • > ...grimly violent episodes, tragedy butting heads with comedy and physical existence facing off with fantasy and imagination.
    • > ...the transition from childhood to adulthood, girlhood to womanhood, sexism and cruelty.
    • > A still from Bird. Photograph: Atsushi Nishijima
    • > But Bug’s smart, lonely 12-year-old daughter Bailey (Nykiya Adams) from a previous relationship lives with him...
    • > ...and she is confused and unhappy about a new stepmother. Her mother is now in a relationship with an odious, violent misogynist.
    • > Everything in her life is alienating, except her love of birds.
    • > A very strange thing happens: an eccentric, troubled guy called Bird (played by Franz Rogowski with a full-on unexplained German accent) shows up and asks Bailey for help.
    • > ...Bird is a very odd individual: a free spirit, a poetic soul, an outsider and a non-tartan kilt wearer...
    • > Audiences will absorb the familiar or overfamiliar social-realist tropes here: there are phone-video scenes; Bailey films people she finds suspicious almost without thinking.
    • > ...there are horses (who with their simple dignity so often find their way into films like this) and of course the bird, which typifies the vulnerable free spirit...
    • > ...making common cause with the disadvantaged young person ...
  • Bias (95%)
    The author expresses a negative opinion towards the movie 'Bird' by using phrases like 'flawed', 'garrulous', and 'chaotic'. He also uses derogatory language to describe some characters, such as calling an odious, violent misogynist an 'odious, violent misogynist'. These biased statements are not based on facts but rather the author's personal opinion.

        The author makes several statements about the reception of Andrea Arnold's film 'Bird' at the Cannes Film Festival, including a seven-minute standing ovation and her receiving the Carrosse d'Or award. These statements are not fallacious as they are reporting facts. However, there is an instance of inflammatory rhetoric when the author describes Bird as 'one of the toughest shoots of her career.' This statement does not provide any evidence or reasoning to support this claim and is therefore a minor fallacy. The score reflects this minor fallacy and the overall high quality and informative nature of the article.
        • 'When I got the email about this lovely Golden Coach, I was in the middle of the edit of the film that is showing here at Cannes tomorrow called Bird. It was the hardest film I ever made.'
