Catherine Called Birdy is a film about a teen girls tug of war with innocent fun and her duties as she grows into womanhood, writes Dmitry Samarov.
Based on Karen Cushman’s well-loved 1994 children’s novel, Lena Dunham presents a girl’s coming-of-age story set in 13th-century England. The sets and costumes look period-correct, but this is no attempt at historic verisimilitude à la Robert Eggers’sBirdy is the kind of impossible, irreverent girl Dunham specializes in. Spoiled, defiant, but also capable of empathy beyond her years, she’s an almost prototypical heroine for a children’s book.
The plot turns on the family’s money problems, the solution being to marry Birdy off for as much of a dowry as she can command. Of course the girl fights this plan tooth and nail, sending a succession of suitors running away screaming. Using contemporary pop music and employing 2022 dialogue—albeit peppered with occasional medieval lingo—Dunham has fashioned a teen rom-com in period garb. It reminded me a bit of Sofia Coppola’sthough pitched to tweens.
