Damsel - Reviews

As a fantasy, Damsel convincingly transports us into the lair of a dragon that is often stunning and always intriguing.

The Stranger Things star ensures this new Netflix film is a gripping ride.

...Brown manages a sensitive performance within a highly physical role as the damsel in distress who can rely only on herself to be saved.

...the fresh, female-led take on the traditional tale, including a bit of a sisterhood-is-powerful twist near the end, makes it worth a watch.

...rousing revenge saga that provides a thin yet encouraging message for its younger female audience and a balm for those older viewers who grew up being spoon-fed the same old gendered cliches.

Millie Bobby Brown puts fire in this survival fantasy's belly.
