Rating: 2/5

Summary:

Strengths

Damsel is a sly feminist mission disguised as a shaggy, amiable hangout movie. It’s a quirky, comedian Western with bursts of startling violence.

Weaknesses:

You may have an individual who is type however doesn’t permit humans to govern her or stroll over her rights as a human being. You may have an individual who's strong, however can’t entire a roundhouse kick or swing a sword for a direct time. Characters are speculated to be humans, and those are multi-faceted.

My Opinion:

I get what this book changed into seeking to do, I absolutely do, and I respect it, however I simply don’t individually suppose it changed into nicely achieved. This is a play on the “damsel with inside the tower, guarded through a dragon, and a courageous knight involves store her” however I don’t even sense like that changed into very powerfully achieved either.
