Critics Consensus

Joey King is a credible action star and Princess, but she deserves a better kingdom than this uneven vehicle that gets weighed down by a clunky script and shabby production values.

Mick LaSalle

San Francisco Chronicle

King is a blast, with the fierce intensity of French actress Sara Forestier, whom she strongly resembles. And this movie is worthy of King’s exertions.

Rated: 3/4

Brent Simon

AV Club

A yawningly simplistic and roundly inconsequential action movie, The Princess lacks, on a narrative level, the certitude and clarity of purpose of its title character.

Rated: D

Amy Nicholson

New York Times

Doesn’t hark back to ye olde European fairy tales but rather to the feminist revenge thrillers of the 1970s: works of exploitation and wuxia cinema where warrior women stuck it to the man. With knives.

Rated: B-

Rubén Rosario

MiamiArtZine

Kiet has crafted a violent yet strangely wholesome anomaly: a mindless but enjoyably junky East-meets-West hodgepodge that stokes our bloodlust while staying true to its storybook setting.

Digital Mafia Talkies

The Princess is a tongue-in-cheek, balls-to-the-walls, action extravaganza.

Rated: 4/5

It’s a story somewhat at the mercy of its budget, but one that celebrates sisterhood, ambition and centuries of fairy tales about women finding a way to escape their perils.

If you're looking for complex characters with a believable story, this is not it.

La historia es medio pelo, se nota que tiene poco presupuesto, hay muchas escenas que desafían la lógica, el final como que se queda corto y tiene un humor bastante particular.. Pero así y todo esta película entretiene de principio a fin y cumple como film de accion con creces (para decirlo mal y pronto se están cagando a palos desde que empieza hasta que termina). Buen elenco, en las escenas de accion y coreografías se nota que le pusieron dedicación.

I loved this movie, it had a great story, sweet acting and as one of my friends would put it.... "how did you get your character in the movie?" That is in reference to the type of character I like to play in D&D. I would not mind a sequel to this one, it was very well written

I really like the movie. The Princess as the kick-butt action hero is awesome. Normally I am bored with the medieval-fantasy trope, but having the princess doing the unexpected thing, and to save herself is really good. The little sister is a good actress too, and I'm sure she could become a bigger star one day, same for the young version of the Princess. And, normally I am not a fan of this kind of action movie, never been a fan of the Die Hard franchise, but this movie, Violent Night and Damsel are all awesome examples of this type of genre.
