Princess Cyd
audience Reviews
, 79% Audience Score- Rating: 3.5 out of 5 starsThis is quite a nice film, not too sexual so not especially graphic. I liked the way the friendship built between the two main characters. Its quite dialogue heavy but I liked it. The gay theme is covered in a sensitive way, in that it didn't feel exploitative or anything like that to me. I felt I could relate to the main character a little, in that I could understand her feeling awkward when she stood out. I liked it.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 starsThis is a beautifully nuanced portrayal of a sassy young woman contrasted with her slightly pain-in-the-neck, hyper reflective, middle aged aunt. When I watch Steven Cone's films I think I am seeing real people. Having watched his three main films several times - alone and with friends - I can only wait in hope of his next.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 starsin a sea of lgbtq cringe, this is one of the greats.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 starsso subtle and accurate, with complex characters. it made me laugh, it made me think and at some points it almost made me cry!
- Rating: 3.5 out of 5 starsPleasant little movie populated by refreshingly nice people, with nary a ne'er-do-well to be seen. With a minor exception, any tension is in there somewhere in coming-of-age bisexuality of two young women and a good-natured generation gap. Spence's character is a writer and literature professor like William Heard in "One True Thing," although a polar opposite: kind, unpretentious and secure. She's given to hosting poetry parties, but those are mercifully short.
- Rating: 0.5 out of 5 starsAmong one of the worst lesbian films I have seen. Atrocious acting and dialogue encompassed with no emotion or feeling between the characters. Just throw in some cliché and painfully awkward/unrealistic moments and slap on some sexual scenes and you have your movie that is mediocre at best.
- Rating: 2.5 out of 5 starsA mediocre coming-of-age film, Princess Cyd is pretty bland. The story follows a young teenage girl who goes to visit her estranged aunt, an acclaimed novelist, and learns to appreciate her cultured lifestyle. The script isn't written very well and isn't quite sure whose journey this is; the aunt's or the niece's. And the directing is fairly mundane, doing nothing to heighten the drama or add any tension. Princess Cyd is a forgettable film that's rather boring and unremarkable.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 starsCyd's character is so natural, so honest. A truly unique and special film spoiiled by a very annoying nd contrived portrayal of the Aunt. Magical soundtrack.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 starsI have watched the movie and i think it is a great lgbtq+ film
- Rating: 4 out of 5 starsWatch this if: Sweet, thoughtful stories of romance between girls is your Friday night in. Princess Cyd doesn't fall for stereotypes. It's not a classic girl-meets-girl flick. It's a story of of family evolving from strangers to friends. Cyd spends a few weeks with her novelist aunt over the summer and they discuss everything from love and sex to her mother's death. Cyd meets Katie and what unfolds is a discovery of identity and the first feelings of love. We adore the gentle quality of this movie. The way it listens with beauty and grace.
