The beautifully filmed Damsel injects the western genre with a welcome dose of humor and some unexpected twists, although its stately pace may frustrate impatient viewers.

J. R. Jones Chicago Reader A midmovie plot twist hands the narrative over to Mia Wasikowska as the sweetheart, and her committed performance seems out of place in this extended goof. Mar 4, 2020 Full Review Robert Daniels 812filmreviews Throughout the film, Pattinson's control of his accent, his ability to add complexity to an imbecilic character, and his comedic timing are new signs that he is more than that Twilight dream boy. Rated: 3.5/4 Aug 27, 2018 Full Review Andrew Whalen Newsweek Damsel spends its second half literally wandering in the woods, with no clear destination or objective in mind. Aug 7, 2018 Full Review Don Shanahan Every Movie Has a Lesson With humor as dry as the topography, Damsel is the kind of film that sneaks up on you like a snake in the weeds. Rated: 2/5 Apr 7, 2024 Full Review Dan Schindel Vague Visages A tremendously fun movie, Damsel reinvigorates the Western aesthetic even as it defies many of the genre’s story conventions. Dec 6, 2023 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review It is a film that has been overlooked and demands a critical reassessment for its goofy pleasures, sharp commentary, and playfulness with genre traditions. Rated: 4/4 Feb 12, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

FEMINANCIERAMENTE H The already irreverent staging where for the enjoyment of the wokefake men appear with no more value than that of combustion, the whole film is a concatenation of nonsense. Another of these films that will age as badly as Ringo Star's films. A film that insults the injustice of the spectator who has not yet been lobotomized by fashion, which rewards prominence more than effort or professionalism. Tell us about the times for film productions. If they don't wake up soon, the new creators of films in domestic formats will put an end to cinema, just as they have done with traditional TV. It's my opinion Rated 1 out of 5 stars 10/13/24 Full Review Enrique T I thought it was entertaining, and fun to watch. It is not a bad movie at all. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/18/24 Full Review Jennifer M Really enjoyed this movie. Story line was interesting and was action packed. Millie Bobby Brown was impressive - very athletically demanding role and she pulled it off. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/17/24 Full Review John F Meh. Mediocre CGI. Predictable story. Millie Bobby Brown's performance is the only thing that saves it from being total trash. C- Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/13/24 Full Review Thomas D A fun and exciting story about a clever and dutiful princess overcoming betrayal and danger to survive; I recommend it for anyone with a love of fairytales and stories with lady leads Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/12/24 Full Review Austin R It was a fun to laugh it with my partner and easy to watch.. just another fantasy cash grab, there were a couple moments where it felt like they were creating an interesting protagonist and ultimately the character design fell flat. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/12/24 Full Review Read all reviews
