Her fourth feature film, the Medieval-set teen comedy “Catherine Called Birdy,” has enjoyed nearly universal praise from critics (not traditionally her biggest fans; the film is currently sitting pretty at 83 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, above even her highly regarded “Tiny Furniture”). She puts all doubts to bed with her latest, an adaptation of Karen Cushman’s YA novel, one of Dunham’s favorite childhood reads that was originally published in 1994.
