Bailey lives with her brother Hunter and her father Bug, who raises them alone in a squat in North Kent. Bug doesn’t have much time for them. Bailey seeks attention and adventure elsewhere. Barry Keoghan dropped out of Gladiator II (2024) to star in this film instead. Edited at Fontaines DC: Bug (2024). Too Real Written by Grian Chatten, Conor Curley, Conor Deegan III, Tom Coll and Carlos O’Connell Performed by Fontaines D.C. This is an excellent coming-of-age story, reminiscent of “The Wild Diamond”; but, in my opinion, even better performed. We follow the life of Bailey, a 12-year-old girl living in the poor areas of the UK. It’s clear from the start that Bailey sees the world differently from those around her. Nature, animals, and especially birds, symbolize freedom and lightness, a feeling that comes across vividly. Bailey meets Bird, a character who embodies the person she wants to become. At first she teases Bird, but eventually her smirk turns to admiration. Bailey faces many challenges and Bird cleverly guides her toward a solution. Some questions remain unanswered, but the specific answers are not important to me. The journey and development that Bailey experiences is what really matters.
