"Damsel: Millie Bobby Brown's Fairy Tale Misfire"
TL;DR Summary
"Damsel" is a sumptuous new fantasy film starring Millie Bobby Brown as Elodie, a damsel in distress who must save herself after being sacrificed to a dragon following a royal wedding. The film offers a fresh, female-led take on the traditional tale, with stunning production design and costumes, but is weakened by some screenplay flaws. Despite this, Brown's performance and the sisterhood-is-powerful twist make it worth a watch.
