Damsel

Matt Roush says...

As Eleven on Stranger Things, Millie Bobby Brown has faced her share of monsters. Though maybe not on the scale of the fire-breathing dragon she battles in her new medieval fantasy adventure. She’s Princess Elodie, whose wedding to a supposed Prince Charming is sullied by the catch in her betrothed’s vows: The “I do’s” are a pretext to a ritualistic sacrifice in which the bride is thrown into a pit to be consumed by the beastly dragon as part of what monster-in-law Queen Isabelle (Robin Wright) calls “a legacy of honor and duty.” This damsel may be in distress, but the resourceful heroine isn’t about to lie down and become royal barbecue.
