In Elodie, there was a strong central character that held the film together. Unwittingly, in an arranged marriage, she becomes the sacrificial victim in a mysterious land with a creature holding the kingdom hostage.
There was good photography and special effects, along with a solid set of characters. A standout was the kind stepmother of Elodie. She was the first to recognize that Elodie was in danger, then followed up in the rescue attempt.
A shortcoming of the film was the overly protracted sequence in the cave where Elodie landed in the belly of the beast. The action was too repetitive and unpleasant.
There was a strong ending with a good twist that included a non-violent act on the part of Elodie. It turned out that this was no damsel in distress! She was Wonder Woman!
