Princesses (2005)
8/10
Humane but softened
14 December 2009
'Princesses' is a nicely-realised story of a number of Spanish prostitutes. It portrays them as human and focuses on the idea that most of them simply want the same things in life as anyone else, in spite of their unorthodox career choice. It's surprisingly inexplicit in content, which makes it easier to go with the story but which also slightly softens it; the actual quality of these women's work is shielded a little from us, we see one women abused by a particular client, but not the reality of life on the streets hour after hour. Finally, I thought the story ran out a little before the end. But I still liked the movie, a tender and sensitive portrait of lonely souls.
