Movie review - "Catherine Called Birdy" (2022) ***

 I love how out of all the Game of Thones alumni Bella Ramsey is getting the choice roles. This is a fun, loving account of a novel thought it feels like an account of a novel. Watching it I was always going "this is probably better as a book, you can really get inside her head, and get all the detail".

There's a decent budget and the cast can't be faulted. Lena Durham does a good job as director. I do love the way the father loves his daughter down deep that was touching. It had resonance the rest doesn't but I recognise that could be because I'm a dad and I don't relate to the 14 year old girl stuff as much.
