Critics Consensus

Damsel has an appealing action hero in Millie Bobby Brown, whose gutsy performance is often enough to balance the scales against the film's underpowered story and occasionally unconvincing effects.

Audience Consensus

Damsel is a decently made fantasy film and Millie Bobby Brown does well in the title role, although it's easy to tell where the story's going and the CGI isn't great.

Not good. Despiste being well produced and have a good cast is really poorly writen. Very, very boring.

A great, slightly unconventional tale with a fairy tale setting, simple characters and a finale. Quite fun to watch.

Really boring buildup but the action was good and the ending was badass. Also Millie Bobby Brown was amazing in this role.

I’ve admittedly watched Damsel twice, so it’s obvious that, flaws and all, the film put a big enough smile on my face that I had no problem sitting down for an almost immediate second look.

Rated: 3/4

Even on the smaller screen, though, 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.

Rated: 3/4

Too childish and shallow for adults, yet too brutal and gory for kids, this is one Damsel that really does need saving, after all.

Rated: 2/5

Austin Burke/Flick Fan Nation

Damsel features an excellent lead performance from Millie Bobby Brown and a few entertaining sequences in the third act, but it is unable to overcome bland and familiar execution.

Rated: 4/10

Willamette Week

The second half of Damsel grows repetitive, but Brown is a physically and dramatically compelling presence—and the dragon, menacingly voiced by Shohreh Aghdashloo, is frightening enough to make Smaug’s scales tingle.

Rated: 3/4

While the film’s title and setup toy with the trope of the damsel in distress, Brown is so self-assured, there’s never any sense that Elodie is in real peril, which saps the film of significant tension.
