Leave your thoughts about Catherine Called Birdy.
| The Seattle TimesKatie WalshCatherine Called Birdy is Dunham’s best writing and directing work yet; it’s an easy breezy, emotional good time, and an instant teen classic. |
| The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Sarah-Tai BlackThere is a sincerity here that is unafraid of itself and – in what is most certainly a love letter to the beguiling and tumultuous affair that is girlhood – Catherine Called Birdy feels unique and special in a way that speaks directly to Birdy and other uncontainable girls like her. |
| The PlaylistJason BaileyCatherine Called Birdy is delightfully witty, irrelevant, and modern-minded while carefully dodging the self-satisfaction and smugness that those descriptors can conjure up. |
| The A.V. ClubMark KeizerDunham has taken her oft-articulated concerns about women’s empowerment and self-determination and transported them to 13th-century England in Catherine Called Birdy, a charming, clever, and altogether delicious comeback film that redefines Dunham in a way that just recently seemed unlikely. |
| IndieWireKate ErblandCatherine Called Birdy is so good, so raucous and wild and wise and witty, that it not only makes me eager to write in alliterative adjectives, but to reconsider my views on everything else she’s made in recent years. It’s wonderful. |
| The New York TimesAmy NicholsonDunham prevails in convincing audiences that coming-of-age in a so-called simpler time was equally tumultuous, and crams the corners of her movie with images of other female characters discreetly seizing their own moments of satisfaction — glimpses of joys which realize that it’s in the margins of a medieval tale where the best stuff happens. |
| The Hollywood ReporterJourdain SearlesThe real star of the show is Dunham, whose sharp dialogue and direction equips every actor with an acidic tongue and knowing gaze. |
| VarietyPeter DebrugeThe movie wouldn’t have worked half as well had Dunham not discovered Ramsey, a “Game of Thrones” veteran soon to be seen in HBO’s “The Last of Us.” The young actor has a face one might find in a medieval Madonna portrait and a rowdy contemporary sensibility that makes her instantly relatable. |
| The Associated PressLindsey BahrCatherine Called Birdy is an unabashed delight for everyone. It just might run a little deeper for a certain age group. |
| Arizona RepublicKiMi RobinsonCatherine Called Birdy is a reminder to let our spirits be free, never settle and keep loved ones close. |
