Damsel received mixed-to-positive reviews from critics. While some praised the film for flipping the script on traditional gender roles and Brown’s committed performance, others felt the narrative was somewhat predictable. However, the film fared well with general audiences, appreciating its concise runtime and satisfying conclusion.
Unlike traditional fairy tales where a prince saves a princess, Damsel follows Elodie (Millie Bobby Brown), a young woman from an impoverished kingdom. She agrees to marry a handsome prince, believing it is her duty to save her people. However, upon arriving at the royal castle, she discovers the shocking truth: the royal family has no intention of making her a queen. Instead, she is to be sacrificed to an ancient fire-breathing dragon as repayment for an age-old debt.
Thrown into a cavern with no way out, Elodie must rely on her own wits and resilience to survive. The film shifts from a period drama into a survival thriller as she battles the elements and the dragon itself, proving that she needs no knight in shining armor.
