Princesses Do as They Please

About This Movie

Princesses Do as They Please is a strange little gem, really. The film dives headfirst into the psyche of young Nina, a girl who straddles the line between innocence and madness. The atmosphere is thick, almost oppressive, with a fairy-tale quality that quickly morphs into something dark and unsettling. The pacing feels erratic, much like Nina's thoughts, which can be disorienting but ultimately adds to the film's unique feel. The practical effects are noteworthy, creating a tangible sense of dread, especially with Tony the Monster – there's something about how he's brought to life that feels both whimsical and terrifying. It’s a haunting exploration of childhood trauma and imagination gone awry; not your typical fantasy fare.
