Its quite shocking that she is a producer and an amazing actress with such strong acting skills.

[@wolfshield2499]

Not that shocking actually, many actors actress do a side job as producer. If you have a lot of money to paid for a whole/ half movie, including the staff & actors, you can start your own movie production movie too.

Total respect for this lady. She did a fabulous job as actress in this movie! 9.5/10 for acting, she carried the movie! ... And her past performance were also great and noteworthy.

[@nerdyhexel307]

I honestly wasn't expecting much out of a Netflix movie. It has its issues, but once the movie got its footing I was hooked! A tragic but very engrossing story. Love seeing a fresh take on the classic princess and dragon trope.

[@David-iv6je]

Loved her in the Enola movies and she did great in this film. Sadly, the plot and dialog were pretty weak. I think they wasted her and, rankly, the story idea. It should have been much better. Turns out the director has done mediocre movies and the writer did insipid action movies like Fast X and a Titans movie. I guess Netflix spent all its money on high quality actors MB Brown and Andrea Bassett (and the solid Robin Wright with her name recognition) and not enough on a quality writing/director team.

Millie Bobby Brown has never done a movie like this and if the movie is great and she really pulls it off, she could be in for more action roles.

[@Abber64]

I watched Damsel and it way exceeded my expectations. There are very few movies I have watched, and after it was done, I thought 'Wow'', and immediately wanted to watch it again. This was one of those movies. If this does not get nominated for an award, I will be shocked. Amazing movie!!

[@realta140]

It must be quite challenging as an actor/actress when you’re not acting with anyone. It seems like she’s on her own a lot of the movie which must be difficult to not have anyone to play off of

I really like that this is something different. It's not a remake, a reboot, or an adaptation, it's something original and that's what I like most about it Edit: I was told it is an adaption, so ignore that from my intial point, but nonetheless it's a great movie

It's based off a novel...so it is an adaptation but one of the best so far.

You were actually right, it is something original! The book is a novelization of the movie. It was published before the film but was made in conversation with the script writer of the movie.

[@brandilyn6720]

The vast majority of us love rooting for the female heroine when it’s not ridiculous & forced. We can automatically tell when it’s a movie strictly made for political points.

[@ArchieBurnett-qn9gt]

I agree. This film didn’t force those standards down our throats. We got to see something simple and effective: a heroine who just so happens to be a female, struggling at first and slowly managing to climb her way up. That’s all we needed. Not a strong ‘female’ character, just a strong female ‘character’.

[@salaahkhayr2398]

@@ArchieBurnett-qn9gtI love how you say it as if most ‘hero’ movie a from Netflix and Hollywood for the last 5,10 years are already about women😂.

[@ArchieBurnett-qn9gt]

@salaahkhayr2398 I’m referring to the recent marvel movies that have adopted this trope of making ‘Mary Sues’, which means making a woman character flawless with the only obstacle in her way being her own doubt about herself, and how just by realising the true strength within herself, she can do anything. This might seem like a good idea on paper, but in execution, it fails. I remember watching captain marvel from 2019 and wondering what felt wrong about it and why I didn’t like it as much as the other marvel films at the time. I know now it was because she was able to do everything in one quick succession. There was no struggle, so no reason to root for her. Damsel did a better job of making you root for a character. We saw her struggling at first and slowly climb her way to the top. Yes it would have been nice to know more about her backstory and maybe have introduced a few conflicting morals about her forcing herself to accept the stereotypical standards of woman treatment, but overall, it was still fine we’ll. And it didn’t force anything or put morals first. It cared more about the story it was telling over the morals it was hinting. That’s what makes a good film of the good kind of woke👍🏻

[@housefire123123]

​@@ArchieBurnett-qn9gthow can actually say this was a good/amazing movie? It was a 4/10 at best. There's whole scenes which make no sense.

[@MrQuantumInc]

It seems like it is based on subverting the cliche of a knight rescuing a princess from a dragon, but she doesn't acknowledge that. What she does say applies to a significant percentage of all the narratives ever written. Someone unexpectedly finding the strength to overcome adversity and danger is an important story to tell, which is why we already tell that story constantly in every medium.
