Damsel, this movie belongs to the Fantasy/Adventure genre. At first, I had to see the trailer and honestly, it was superb to me. No spoiler intended, I know for sure that every character in this movie played their roles very well including the Dragon. It gives a Damsel in distress kind of setting and honestly, the storyline wasn’t new but then it was worth seeing.
The movie Damsel is more of a Damsel who was handed off as a bride to a kingdom in need of a bride. The main reason she was given off is because her town needed money. More of an exchange. A bride for money. There is more to this Kingdom in need of a bride as there is an ancestral tradition which has been going on.
The movie is about Millie Bobby Brown who played the role of Elodie and her connection with the Dragon which she was used as a sacrifice. Shockingly, the Dragon has a tragic past as well. Yes, the plot is very predictable but then towards the end it takes a twist.
The cast of Elodie was very delightful to see. I have always been a fan of Millie Bobby Brown right from when she played Eleven in stranger things She is always in character and I love how she played the role of Elodie. A dutiful damsel who just obeyed her father and got married with zero idea about the royal ancestral tradition. The determination she had and how she was willing to create a relationship with the Dragon at the end. At one point, I was a bit confused if she could see the past or maybe it was the cave’s effect. Either way, she did well. I love the relationship she has with her stepmother as well. It takes the light off Fantasy evil stepmothers
I would have loved to say Elodie was my favorite character but then Queen Isabelle played by Robin Wright. She has acted in so many movies and even if she played the part of the villain, I find how she was able to carry herself all through the movie till the very end.
