Catherine Called Birdy Ratings & Reviews
The Ringer
Alison Herman
Catherine Called Birdy establishes Dunham as a continued creative force...
Newsday
Verne Gay
Lena Dunham brings her unique style and approach to a period piece in "Catherine Called Birdy." and she comes away with an affecting coming-of-age story.
Ty Burr's Watch List (Substack)
Ty Burr
Dunham keeps the didacticism light until it's time to sharpen her spear; it matters that it's a movie with few villains except the society in which the characters live and those most invested in upholding it.
Crooked Marquee
Kimber Myers
... [A] quite marvelous medieval comedy worthy of both its beloved source material and sure-to-be-repeat viewing.
Vanity Fair
Richard Lawson
Free-wheeling as the movie seems, there's a careful control at work, a restraint that prevents Catherine Called Birdy from teetering into the noxiously ironic. There's a deep affection -- a humanism, really -- at the heart of the film.
Rolling Stone
David Fear
If anything, the melding of broad, bawdy humor and outrage, of gutbusting and throat-clearing, complements each other beautifully.
The New Yorker
Richard Brody
This medieval coming-of-age comedy, written and directed by Lena Dunham, is packed with piquant details, ruddy humor, and joy in performance.
Chicago Reader
Dmitry Samarov
I was very aware while watching that as a 51-year-old man I was not who this was made for. But is it a good message to send young girls that they can be bad and do what they want for a little while but when the rubber hits the road they must toe the line?
Associated Press
Lindsey Bahr
It lures you in with comedy, wit and irreverence and before you know it, you're reaching for the tissues and wondering when you came to care so much about the father-daughter relationship.
Wall Street Journal
Kyle Smith
Catherine Called Birdy serves as an excellent introduction to pre-modern England, and before you know it your kids might be asking about The Adventures of Robin Hood or The Lion in Winter.
Movie Mom
Nell Minow
The humor and pop songs keep the more dire aspects of the story from distracting us when what she wants us to see is Birdy's resilience and open-heartedness.
Detroit News
Adam Graham
It shows the strength of her [Dunham's] voice transcends story, setting and time period. And... that across all eras, some feelings are universal, and even medieval times can smell like teen spirit.
New York Times
Amy Nicholson
To flip through the pages of a 13th century manuscript, one might believe the medieval era was beleaguered by more snaky dragons and man-murdering bunnies than temperamental tween girls.
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
Dunham keeps the action brisk and the humor quotient high...
Entertainment Weekly
Leah Greenblatt
A sly fairytale about a medieval tween that manages to be both cheeky and modern without losing its heart.
Observer
Emily Zemler
It welcomes everyone, even those unfamiliar with the novel, into its delightful, funny world.
San Jose Mercury News
Randy Myers
A pleasing and diverting feminist story for a young generation.
Arizona Republic
KiMi Robinson
"Catherine Called Birdy" is a reminder to let our spirits be free, never settle and keep loved ones close.
Deadline Hollywood Daily
Valerie Complex
Dunham took a huge risk in making this film a more comedic venture. The risk paid off.
AV Club
Mark Keizer
A charming, clever, and altogether delicious comeback film that redefines Dunham in a way that just recently seemed unlikely.
