Ten stars is probably too much, but I would have given it 5 out of 5.
Other reviewers have said enough good things about it. It is a slow one. Phoebe Cates masters her role, so if you're a fan it's worth the watch.
I was sold on the mysterious princess identity until her real past was discovered late in the film. That thigh tattoo is what sold me. And that is the plot hole -- the movie never resolves where she got that East Asian thigh tattoo? (And, how many more did she have?) Before the tattoo, I was starting to think maybe she was autistic? (Refusing to speak except in her own invented language - high functioning autism is a possible diagnosis.) Before the reveal, I was sold on her believing that she was a princess, if not a real one. I only just saw it, 28 years after its release and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
