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

...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.

...Morgenthaler shows influences from Miyazaki to cinematic action/adventure films. "Princess" is a real disturbing dazzler.
09/28/09
Princess remains technically brilliant and never less than compelling, albeit in a queasy, troubling fashion. Its images rattle in the memory like unclean ghosts.
10/19/07
Although morally ambiguous, with a message that is at best confused, this is a striking debut from a talented director.
10/19/07
A unique and memorable film, as much for its Danish animated approach to a vigilante vengeance as for its messed-up morality.
10/19/07
Princess is rarely a dull watch, but it doesn't pack enough of an emotional punch.
10/19/07
Sure, the rage is palpable in every cell, but poise and rational thinking are sadly lacking.
10/19/07
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.
10/19/07
A few decent ideas can't cover the fact this has been done a thousand times before.
10/19/07
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 distasteful sum total.

Top CriticMorgenthaler 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.
