Prince Harming

From the get go, Prince Harming has all the trappings of a modern, charming rom-com - full of clever set pieces and witty banter - though by no means overly sweet. Life is hard for this New York gal, though she never lets it get her down, always pushing forward with a smile and her eternal optimism. When she does at last meet her Blue Prince, it feel like fate is rewarding her. Of course something is not quite right with him and we the audience keep waiting for that other shoe to drop - and drop it does with a loud THUD! When the darkness comes, it comes hard, building to point of raw, real, discomfort - as it should. Prince Harming is a cautionary tale of wanting too badly and of not seeing the evil right in front of us. Of being a victim and at last having the strength to put a stop to it and regaining ones SELF. A great mix of genres and a well made and well acted film...

I enjoyed this film a lot! I liked the complex characterization of the protagonist Victoria: strong, gutsy, quirky, vulnerable, positive and fierce. There's a lot of humor - some dark, some subtle, some slapstick - which makes the film flow well and frames an intense topic very well...It is so refreshing and so lovely to see a beautiful woman on screen without artifice and pretense! Inspiring and relatable at the same time.

Prince Harming starts out like a romantic comedy but then makes a surprising swift turn. Then, step-by-step, it tells the story of a love relationship gone wrong. The acting was authentic, it felt real and I suspect that anyone who has ever questioned why a woman might stay in an abusive relationship will get their answer in this film. Besides that, it was an entertaining and at times funny film with quite the twist ending!

I could not pause this film, it was that good. What a roller coaster. Every woman should see this. It hits home and is entertaining at the same time. Love it!!

Equal parts poignant and haunting, this film breathes heart(ache), humor and authenticity! Marianne is an extraordinary, wholly unique filmmaker on the rise! A timely, MUST SEE film!!!!
