Catherine Called Birdy (Prime Video) premieres Oct. 7
Table of Contents
The film adaptation of this beloved historical children’s novel comes from, of all people, Lena Dunham. We’re moving from the aimless, narcissistic New York 20-somethings in Girls to just, well, one girl: Birdy, a headstrong 14-year-old aristocrat in medieval England. Birdy refuses to get married off, preferring to get up to mischief and push back against a society that would reduce her to a man’s property. October is looking like a strong month for family entertainment across platforms, and Prime Video’s Catherine Called Birdy brings a witty take on what it’s like to be your own person—a worthwhile watch for people of all ages and genders.
