Featured reviews
Sometimes real live film appears in the film, mainly when the characters watch TV. Maybe that is to make viewers more involved in the characters? But I feel the anime characters are more engaging. I do not think the movie gained anything by doing this. Especially the last 1 minute or so of live stuff should have been deleted.
The animations/drawings were great. Especially the lighting. The perspective in the lines were considerably unnatural, which was annoying for me. The characters were portrayed really well. The story was incredibly tragic and great.
I give it a 9 out of 10 if I pretend the last minute is gone.
But back to this animated movie, which tackles and tries to punch the porn industry. It's brave in doing so, and it's not shy on getting down and dirty. But that is, where it lost me. Throwing children into the mix is something I despise very much. This is definitely not a movie for children! And there shouldn't be any in it, too (imo).
Provocative or not, it just felt wrong to me. The issues that are named here, are serious, but there surely is a better approach to them than this movie.
Princess is a recipe for an excellent film. You have a great animation, as well as some originality - there's some live-action also. You have two highly likable characters - August and Mia, and their relationship is what carries the movie. There's a great plot, where some moments make you happy and others - sad. If that isn't enough the film is about darker themes. One other thing I'll point out about Princess is a scene that had an awesome style (I don't want to spoil the scene).
There's nothing in Princess that ruins the experience. A little, microscopic flaw is within the animation at some moments could be polished.
Princess is a must-watch for fans of animation and films and it is an excellent film.
With this film Anders Morgenthaler proves that not only is he a very talented cartoonist/comedian, But that he also has a knack for serious, emotional and even disturbing storytelling.
The mixture of "Childish" animation and brutal and disturbing topics such as violence, sex, drugs and pedophilia create a truly unique experience.
This film is possibly one of the most underrated films.
