Movie Reviews
It’s hard to drum up excitement for films like ‘The Princess’, which have a chokehold on a market desperate to blindly capitalize on progressive values and ideas.
Lovia Gyarkye: The Hollywood Reporter
Joey King is credible and compelling as a vengeful would-be princess bride in this over-the-top action fantasy tale.
Amy Nicholson: The New York Times
A smarter script would’ve found ways to work a historical critique (or some ‘Shrek’-like satire, at least) into its relatively brainless string of set pieces.
