Critic Reviews
-
Michael Booth, Denver Post
Aranoa sketches a melancholy based on accurate human observation.
-
Frank Scheck, Hollywood Reporter
While Princesas offers sensitive and beautifully wrought performances by its two leads (Candela Pena and Micaela Nevarez, who each won Goya Awards), the film offers little new in way of substance or theme.
-
Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times
Writer-director Fernando León de Aranoa embraces a pair of Madrid streetwalkers with such affection and compassion that their story, even though prostitutes are a staple of the movies, actually seems fresh and distinctive.
-
Jonathan Holland, Variety
Fernando Leon de Aranoa confirms his Loach-like ability to convert marginalized subjects into socially committed cinema.
-
John Anderson, Newsday
In Princesas, [writer-director Fernando León de Aranoa] leaves too many loose ends hanging about, but his sentiments are noble.
