RELATED: ‘Catherine Called Birdy’: Release Date, Cast, Trailer, and Everything You Need to Know We saw this in the prologue to Drew Barrymore's Ever After, and we see it again here. She's the sort of troublemaking tween girl who rolls in the mud and plays with the barn animals in a way that doesn't befit a "lady" but is very reminiscent of what a 90s idea of an independent, unconventional girl looks like. Fortunately, Catherine Called Birdy, a film with a loosely similar premise does a much better job at conveying the frustrations of a young woman considered little more than property in the eyes of her father or the law.Ĭatherine Called Birdy, based on the children's novel by Karen Cushman, follows a year in the life of the titular Catherine ( Bella Ramsey). 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. 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. ![]()
