Reverse Shot

The happy paradox of Pieiro's work is that for all its meticulous control, it's also modest, starting with those truncated running times and including also the pared-down size of the narratives.

Film Comment Magazine

In Pieiro's Shakespeare films, kisses are not "stolen," as the idiom has it, so much as frantically exchanged like batons in a relay, whisked from one character to another, punctuating the film rhythmically.

The precise attachments, romantic or otherwise, among the constellation of characters may be deliberately confusing, but the performers themselves, all part of the writer-director's regular troupe, are exceptionally vivid.

The Film Stage

While The Princess of France is a comedy, it, like the Shakespeare play foregrounded within, is ultimately a dark and bittersweet tragedy.

Rated: B+

The Dissolve

The Princess Of France ambles from one low-key encounter to another, rarely engaging directly with the Bard, and never elevating its heart rate beyond the resting level.

Rated: 2/5

This movie was interesting and showed Victor’s love life and the aftermath during making his radio show. I wouldn’t say it was spectacular but it definitely wasn’t boring.

Rated 2 out of 5 stars
