Princess of the Row

This movie was incredible and very moving. Edi Gathegi completely sells his role as a man who was severely brain damaged in combat. He acts almost like a zombie, and its sad because you know there really are people out there who are like that, which cannot function enough to sustain a normal life. He is always drifting in and out of reality.

The story is just so touching. His daughter wants to see him get better and be well enough to hold some type of job and provide himself with a better life. By the end, she realizes that its really out of her control and no amount of love from her or anyone is going to fix his brain. Its very bittersweet. Definitely watch it!

It's a poweful story with wonderful actors.

This film has the power to renew our faith in humanity. So much decency is portrayed in these characters. Both lead performances are powerhouse jobs, and the supporting characters are the equally moving. A wonderful film. Totally believable. Great job to the entire crew.

Princess of the Row (2019) is a movie that my magnificent wife recommended and I recently watched on Prime. The storyline follows a kid who skips school to take care of her homeless father who lives on skid row. She gets cycled through the foster system but always finds her way back to her dad.

This movie is directed by Van Maximilian Carlson (Bhoplia) and stars Edi Gathegi (The Harder they Fall), Tayler Buck (Annabelle: The Creation), Martin Sheen (Apocalypse Now), Ana Ortiz (Ugly Betty) and Jenny Gago (Coach Carter).

The performances feel so authentic and were impressive. Tayler Buck and Edi Gathegi play off each other perfectly. The writing is outstanding with entertaining characters, intense circumstances, rough environments, well established relationships and unpredictable situations. The storyline is well paced with numerous twists and turns and a heart wrenching ending. I wouldn't change anything about this movie.

Overall, this an underrated gem that I would strongly recommend. I would score this an 8/10.

I just finished watching the movie. The acting was wonderful. This movie gripped my heart from the beginning to end. It was well written and directed. Watch this movie.
