Damsel was Netflix's redemption, with strong female lead and nary a hint of woke bs! Classic story telling. Perfect for young viewers and beautiful sets, cgi, great acting and solid story. I loved every second.
The story was simple, yes, but it was the execution and attention to detail that matters here... Characters were classic antagonist and protagonist leads, with dragon mythos and a Shakespearen feel. The castle and background geography contributed to a realistic story landscape that fused drama with place and purpose. I can't wait to have my daughters watch this film, at its heart it's a young person's movie.
