Princess Daisy (1983– )
8/10
Warm hearted yet slightly confusing film
11 March 2012
Firstly, I do not understand why Marette van Kamp as Princess Daisy is given no billing on the DVD cover, she was, after all, playing the lead role. Her character was intense, and very sad considering the circumstances of losing her natural mother and then her father. At three hours, the film is very long, and jumps from one time zone to another, leaving perplexing gaps in the storyline. One of the major disturbing themes of the film is the incestuous behaviour of Daisy's half brother Ram, and Daisy's move to America to make a life for herself.

There are many interesting moments, and the fact of hiding a disabled child away in a remote home strikes at the heart and conscience of anyone who has a disabled child. On the whole, the film is thought provoking, although too long. The best effort was from Marette van Kamp.
