Featured review
My wife and I watched this on Amazon streaming. Well she stuck with it only for about 20 minutes but quit when she found the lead character too annoying. I stuck with it and overall found it to be a suitably entertaining story with fairly modern songs and a very quirky, humorous style. Bella Ramsey, who was about 17 or 18 during filming, plays 14-yr-old Catherine who is called Birdy. She is a really good young actress, very authentic in the role. My only issue is she often mumbled some of her lines and it was difficult to catch all she was saying.
Birdie's mom and dad had been trying to have more children but ever since she was born they have all died before or during childbirth. Also dad isn't a very good money manager and they find themselves just about broke. Dad needs to marry off Birdie to a wealthy man who will provide a nice fee. When Birdie in fact discovers she is now entering puberty, and thus 'ripe', she hides it for a while, the playful girl has no interest in marrying an old man and having his children.
So with that the story and all its pratfalls develops. It eventually comes to an interesting conclusion.
