“ Catherine Called Birdy” is so good, so raucous and wild and wise and witty, that it not only makes me eager to write in alliterative adjectives, but to reconsider my views on everything else she’s made in recent years. And while this writer is typically loathe to inject herself into reviews, I’ll break my own rules this time: I despised “Sharp Stick.” I grew deeply weary of “Girls.” Dunham’s output has not worked for me in a very long time. The film is Dunham’s second of 2022, following on the heels of her semi-secret Sundance dramedy “Sharp Stick,” which was released earlier this summer by indie outfit Utopia. 3' Review: These Intergalactic Weirdos Are the Real Heart of the MCUĢ2 Great Erotic Thrillers, from Adrian Lyne to Brian De PalmaĢ023 Emmys Predictions: Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Limited Series or a Movie Where to Watch This Week's New Movies, from 'Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret' to 'R.M.N.' If this sounds at all staid to you, you really must read Cushman’s novel, which is fresh and funny in so many ways. And then, you really must see Dunham’s film, which is her best yet, and proof that even Hannah’s most maligned declarations (as penned and delivered by Dunham) have proven to be true.
