Princess is rarely a dull watch, but it doesn't pack enough of an emotional punch.

Sure, the rage is palpable in every cell, but poise and rational thinking are sadly lacking.

It's very controlled and deliberate and gives the illusion that it has something to say, but its point is a bit unclear.

A distasteful sum total.

Watch Princess for this smart channelling of exploitation movie energy rather than the heavy-handed sermonising. And for an intelligent and sober look at porn, re-watch Boogie Nights.

A few decent ideas can't cover the fact this has been done a thousand times before.

Princess is adults-only animation designed, paradoxically, to disillusion anyone of the belief that the world of 'adult entertainment' is in any way alluring or glamorous.

A unique and memorable film, as much for its Danish animated approach to a vigilante vengeance as for its messed-up morality.

Morgenthaler views this business not only as a monstrously abusive exploitation of people and their bodies, but the height of anti-eroticism and anti-art that demands a complete emotional disconnect between viewer and performer.

...Morgenthaler shows influences from Miyazaki to cinematic action/adventure films. "Princess" is a real disturbing dazzler.

...a somber, sad and, in the end, hopeful animation that is a kindred spirit to such Japanese anime as Tokyo Godfathers in look, if not feel.

Although morally ambiguous, with a message that is at best confused, this is a striking debut from a talented director.

Princess remains technically brilliant and never less than compelling, albeit in a queasy, troubling fashion. Its images rattle in the memory like unclean ghosts.
