Written and directed by Lena Dunham, ‘Catherine Called Birdy’ has a heart to it befitting the beloved novel it’s based on. Read rilaws’ full review:
. Free-wheeling as the movie seems, there’s a careful control at work, a restraint that preventsfrom teetering into the noxiously ironic. There’s a deep affection—a humanism, really—at the heart of the film; Dunham likes most of her characters, and thus treats them with fairness and decency.
That’s a delicate balance, and one that Dunham strikes gracefully. The film is alternately silly and sweet, cognizant of the oppressiveness of what’s being spoken about while still giving Birdy reason to play and dream and safely rebel. Ramsey nimbly maneuvers the film’s shifting tones, imbuing Birdy with an appealing mix of high-born brattiness and beyond-her-years intelligence—which we’d hate to see hidden under a bushel by some cruel transaction of a husband.
