It\u2019s well-made, and endlessly likable.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Lady Catherine (Bella Ramsey), who goes by Birdy, is a 14-year-old girl in 1290 England \u2014 and we first meet her during a slo-mo mud fight. Despite her rough-\u2019em-up demeanor, she\u2019s the perfect age for her dad Sir Rollo (Andrew Scott) to marry her off to a rich guy to help pay off the debts he\u2019s incurred from squandering money on necessities such as a wild tiger.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019ll be a challenge, though. Dad shouts, \u201cShe\u2019s disgusting!

She\u2019s determined to scare off every suitor that comes her way \u2014 all the while scheming with her friends Perkin (Michael Woolfitt) and Aelis (Isis Hainsworth) and misguidedly crushing on her handsome uncle George (Joe Alwyn, who\u2019s been too chill onscreen lately. I miss \u201cThe Favourite\u201d Alwyn).\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>There are darker, true-to-life elements at play beyond the farce. Birdy\u2019s mother (Billie Piper), for instance, has struggled to have more children since Birdy was born and has suffered several miscarriages. Also one of the young teen\u2019s male admirers is a creepy old dude she calls \u201cShaggy Beard.\u201d Some parents might wince at that. But, come on, it\u2019s the Middle Ages.

The music seamlessly hops between Gregorian chants via \u201cGlee\u201d and pop tunes. The parent-child dynamics and speaking style in thirteenth century England were probably not so 2022, but there is an emotional resonance to Dunham\u2019s take on the material. Not to mention ample hilarity.<\/p>\n<p>The cast is packed with gifted co<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a>ns.

As Birdy, she\u2019s an irrepressible ball of rebel energy who\u2019s instantly endearing and brimming with wit. And Scott, a brilliant stage actor best known as the Hot Priest on \u201cFleabag,\u201d is at his neurotic, funny best.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m glad to see Dunham, who seemed to be headed for the exit after the so-so HBO show \u201cCamping\u201d and the off-putting mess \u201cSharp Stick\u201d earlier this year, back in good form.\u00a0How lovely it would be if this Middle Ages movie, which hits Prime Video Oct. 7, begins her Renaissance.\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
