Catherine Called Birdy

[Opens Sept. 23 in select theaters and available Oct. 7 on Amazon Prime Video.] When her broke, irresponsible, desperate father (Andrew Scott) is at risk of losing his rundown Manor home that he owns with his wife (Billie Piper) in a medieval English village in 1290 in Lena Dunham's wacky, coming-of-age, over-the-top, humorous, bawdy, star-dotted (Ralph Ineson, Joe Alwyn, Lena Dunham, Sophie Okonedo, Lesley Sharp, Dean-Charles Chapman, Isis Hainsworth, Mimi Ndiweni, Archie Renaux, and Rita Bernard-Shaw), 108-minute pratfall comedy based on Karen Cushman's 1994 novel, he decides to marry off his feisty, rebellious, smart, tomboy, 14-year-old daughter (Bella Ramsey), who spends time with her best friend (Michael Woolfitt), to any wealthy suitor (Russell Brand, Paul Kaye, Douggie McMeekin, Bola Latunji, et al.), but she devises schemes to get out of any arranged marriage.
