    Kids and porn

    The BBC series Monkey Dust used animation to portray fairly adult themes. In fact, there were many motifs that seem to come directly from that show, as well as the animation style. I suspect the film has either copied this style directly, or their is a shared artistic connection.

    The film covers the porn industry and its fallout. It is put together quite skilfully, but has no consistent mood and ends rather sentimentally. The spine is an almost Kill Bill style revenge plot, around which the sharp edges of the real world intrude. The film has heart but no gravity; it weaves a spell around itself but not the audience. So in the end the whole is considerably less than the sum of its well put together parts.

    One of my favourite animated films

    I'm a huge fan of animation and Denmark's Princess from 2006 gives me more reasons to be fan of this genre.

    Princess is a recipe for an excellent film. You have a great animation, as well as some originality - there's some live-action also. You have two highly likable characters - August and Mia, and their relationship is what carries the movie. There's a great plot, where some moments make you happy and others - sad. If that isn't enough the film is about darker themes. One other thing I'll point out about Princess is a scene that had an awesome style (I don't want to spoil the scene).

    There's nothing in Princess that ruins the experience. A little, microscopic flaw is within the animation at some moments could be polished.

    Princess is a must-watch for fans of animation and films and it is an excellent film.

    Thin line

    This movie is not politically correct ... don't watch it, if you're not down with that. Having said that and seeing that I only gave it 4 stars, one could be excused to say, that I like my movies PC. But that couldn't be further away from the truth, than saying that I like Death Metal (which I don't).

    But back to this animated movie, which tackles and tries to punch the porn industry. It's brave in doing so, and it's not shy on getting down and dirty. But that is, where it lost me. Throwing children into the mix is something I despise very much. This is definitely not a movie for children! And there shouldn't be any in it, too (imo).

    Provocative or not, it just felt wrong to me. The issues that are named here, are serious, but there surely is a better approach to them than this movie.

    Straight and sharp as an arrow shot into the sun

    It has all the elements of modern visual culture - P.O.V. camera, smart usage of CGI and strong hit-in the face animated story-telling. And it has soul. The thing that most nowadays production compromisingly neglects due to better box office income. I honestly cannot seriously accept comments that animation in Princess is lame! It can be put out only by someone who is just brainwashed with console games and CGI hyperproduction blockbusters. This is hell of a strong movie and much more. It just begins at the end. Unfortunately, nowadays it's so rare to take something inside yourself from cinema, besides full belly of popcorn mixed with Coca-cola after two hour bombardment of easy to forget moving pictures. This one is animated feature but not a fairytale of king, castle and prehistorik squirrel but real, present life from everyone's neighbourhood we would rather not to happen. Can't wait to see Echo with Pusher's favourite Kim Bodnia. Keep it on Anders.

    Gets progressively better as the film goes on

    I knew nothing about this going in and it's not easy to tell what's going on for a good while. The plot reveals itself in a different way than most movies do and until there's a general idea of what's happening, the movie seems like an adult swim knock-off wannabe.

    However, once everything is set into place, it's very gripping and stays with you until the end with a great story plus wonderful character depth and development.

    The film is part animation and part grainy digital video. The digital video is used to represent a character who is no longer alive shown through home movies at random insertions. The home movies style kinda detracts from the story but it's not all bad, there's an interesting scene where a car crash from the outside is animated and from inside is shown with the grainy video.

    Although, for the most part there's animation which is spectacular. I'm not sure if it's a company located outside of the country the film comes from but it's not in the exaggerated anime style. That means the animation is there but you're able to actually focus on the story. The style of animation also makes the violence pretty graphic. Understand that this is an R rated movie for a reason and some parts even in animation are tough to take in.

    With proper distribution, this could become a midnight movie cult classic.
