A dutiful damsel agrees to marry a handsome prince, only to find the royal family has recruited her as a sacrifice to repay an ancient debt. Thrown into a cave with a fire-breathing dragon, she must rely on her wits and will to survive.
"Damsel, a Netflix exclusive film, has the vibe of almost all the productions Millie Bobby Brown has ventured into after Stranger Things: uncompromising films to watch and enjoy. Here, she plays a young woman who thinks she's going to marry a perfect prince. However, the fairy tale dream is shattered when she is thrown into a hole where she discovers that she won't be a princess after all, but rather a sacrifice to appease a bloodthirsty dragon. Trying to survive long enough until someone can save her, she soon realizes that no one is coming and she'll need to save herself. It's a fun survival film, with just the right amount of fantasy, and it helps to change the eternal figure of the damsel in distress – who now doesn't need a prince by her side."
