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.

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.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

It's a good romp, with lots of action and little dialogue. It's entertaining and definitely worth a watch.

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-

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.
