Princess of the Row

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.

It's a poweful story with wonderful actors.

What a beautifully told story about a broken father and the love his daughter has for him. This movie was a bit slow at times but it was well acted and enjoyable. I am already a fan of Mr. Gathegi's work so I had to check this one out. He didn't speak much in this but his acting was truly believable. When he kicks the trash can and say's "You ain't foolin no body!" hilarious! Sometimes it is hard to see how some ppl live on the streets, this was a hard look of one instance. Surprised this was not based on a true story. If you like emotional movie than this is one for you.

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.

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.
