Catherine Called Birdy

Catherine Called Birdy is a 2022 medieval comedy-drama directed and written by Lena Dunham, adapted from the beloved 1994 novel by Karen Cushman. Set in 13th-century England, it follows the spirited and imaginative teenage noblewoman Catherine “Birdy” (Bella Ramsey), who is determined to avoid the arranged marriage her financially struggling family insists will save their estate. With clever antics and irreverent humor, Birdy tries to scare off one suitor after another while navigating adolescence, family pressures, friendships, and her own growing sense of independence. Alongside a strong ensemble cast including Billie Piper and Andrew Scott, the film blends historical setting with a modern coming-of-age tone.
