Catarina, a Menina Chamada Passarinha

In muddy medieval Britain, Birdy played by Bella Ramsey, is a free spirited and frustratingly headstrong 14 years old, busy defying her father, Andrew Scott's attempts to get her married and save the family with a dowry from a rich suitor, however ill suited they might be. She's having none of it.

Using sharp, witty and very 21st century dialogue, Lena Durham has created a funny and sweet medieval coming of age comedy / drama which at its centre is the wonderful and shining Ramsey. She is also well supported by a terrific British cast including Scott, Billie Piper and the excellent Lesley Sharp as the nanny everyone would dream of having. The words are the thing here though and it's unlikely that you'd watch this and not have a smile on your face afterwards. Nice soundtrack as well.
