Lena Dunham adapts the famous children's book 'Catherine Called Birdy' starring Bella Ramsey, but makes some odd story decisions. Our review:
Earlier this year, a film was released following a young woman in the distant past whose family desired to marry her off for material purposes, a fate that she wished to escape. That film was The Princess, and it utterly failed in its task to offer a modern "strong woman" perspective on a tale we have been told time and time again.

The main offender, in this case, is the strange subplot surrounding Catherine and her uncle George . As her mother's younger, handsome brother who has been off in the Holy Land fighting alongside the king in the Crusades, George is understandably a hero to the adventure-starved Catherine.
