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

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

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

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.

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.
