Review: Damsel

This evening the other DrC and I watched the newly released Millie Bobby Brown film Damsel on Netflix. While it was a pleasant way to spend an evening, it was not up to her previous work for Netflix: Stranger Things, and Enola Holmes 1 & 2.

We both noted a couple of strands of wokeness in the film, which didn’t help. Without indulging in too many spoilers, Ms Brown needs to spend much of the film dirty and disheveled and this she does with gusto. Robin Wright does her customary fine job as a villain. The special effects are well done too.

I’ll look forward to another episode of Enola Holmes and the fifth season of Stranger Things. I don’t expect follow-ons featuring Elodie, Ms. Brown’s character in Damsel.
