Catherine Called Birdy

"This medieval coming-of-age comedy... is packed with piquant details, ruddy humour, and joy in performance."

"Charming, clever, and altogether delicious..."

"Warmth radiates from every detail, from the thoughtful costume design... to the chemistry between Ramsey and her on-screen family."

"Sidestep the somewhat over-egged stylistic touches and you’ll find a fun coming-of-age tale boasting three irresistible performances from Bella Ramsey, Billie Piper and Andrew Scott."

"Ramsey (is) a wonderfully rambunctious presence who bulldozes her way over everyone she shares the screen with..."

"A sweet, amusing comedy that takes aim at too many easy targets."

"For a film that begins with its mischievous main character participating in a ribald mud fight, Catherine Called Birdy feels oddly lifeless."

"Delightful..."

"(The) film is wild and wise and witty, a charming adaptation that Dunham makes entirely her own."

"Despite the inherent darkness of a girl being pushed to grow up faster than she would like, Dunham finds humour in the absurdity of gender roles."
