Juan Carlos Fresnadillo returns to feature film with a dark medieval tale starring the star of the Netflix series 'Stranger Things' Damsel is an adventure and survival film, a dark fairy tale made for the greater glory of its protagonist, Millie Bobby Brown. The film is hampered from beginning to end by the poor acting skills of its star, who unfolds without much conviction into a double-faced character.

Despite being supported by much more reliable performers than her - such as Robin Wright, Angela Bassett or Nick Robinson - Damsel sucks on the plan.
