DAMSEL

Director: Juan Carlos Fresnadillo
Starring: Millie Bobby Brown, Robin Wright, Angela Bassett, Nick Robinson, Ray Winstone

Millie Bobby Brown is no stranger to playing resourceful, kick butt characters with her work in Stranger Things and the Enola Holmes movies. In her new film Damsel, she can only rely on herself. She takes on double duty with Damsel as producer and actress playing Elodie who comes from a poor family and is told she’s set to marry a Prince she’s never met. He’s played by Nick Robinson. Elodie has no interest in this arranged marriage, but she knows her family needs the help that could come from her new family. Her parents are played by Ray Winstone and Angela Bassett. In the days leading up to the ceremony, it’s clear that Angela Bassett’s Lady Bayford senses something rotten is happening behind the scenes after a chilly reception from the Prince’s mom, Queen Isabelle (Wright). There’s no happy ever after when Elodie is thrown into a cave as a sacrifice for the royal family. It becomes a story of resilience and  survival our dear Elodie. Streaming on Netflix March 8
