Friendly Review : Damsel

I totally get where you’re coming from! It’s a bummer when a movie tries to be smarter than it actually is. And I agree, it can be frustrating when the twist is so obvious that it takes away from the excitement. But hey, once the cat-and-mouse game starts between the Princess and the Dragon, things do pick up and become more engaging. It’s great to hear that Millie Bobby Brown shines in her role and brings conviction to the clunky dialogue. And I agree, Shohreh Aghdashloo’s voice acting as the Dragon sounds like a brilliant choice. It’s always a relief when a Netflix original starts to feel more like a real movie, especially with a director like Juan Carlos Fresnadillo at the helm. So, despite its flaws, it sounds like there are still some enjoyable moments and solid set pieces to appreciate. 🎥🐉

Oh, I totally get what you’re saying! It’s frustrating when a good cast doesn’t get a chance to shine because of a weak storyline. And you’re right, sometimes it feels like filmmakers use “modernity” as an excuse for lazy storytelling. It’s like they’re trying to check off boxes instead of creating something truly engaging. It’s a shame when talented actors like Millie Bobbi Brown, Robin Wright, and Ray Winstone don’t get the opportunity to showcase their skills in a meaningful way. Hopefully, we’ll see more films that break the mold and deliver captivating stories with strong performances. 🎬✨
