Princesses

About This Movie

So, 'Princesses' is really something else. It has this raw, gritty vibe that makes you feel the weight of Caye's world. The pacing is quite deliberate, allowing you to soak in the complexities of her situation as a young prostitute. Fernando León de Aranoa captures the nuances of friendship in the harshest circumstances, especially between Caye and Zulema. The performances are compelling, you can almost feel the tension of their secret lives. What stands out is the way it dives into themes of exploitation and xenophobia without being preachy. It's not just about their individual struggles, but how they navigate a society that constantly marginalizes them. A unique blend of realism and emotional depth here makes it noteworthy.
