I don't typically type out reviews, I usually give movies and shows whatever star rating I think they deserve and move on with my life but I have to give people a heads up on this movie. I originally watched this movie because of the good rating rotten tomatoes gave it and the general consensus so... I thought it wouldn't be too bad. But I was wrong. The actress who plays Cyd is beautiful, but the personality of the character is really weird, to the point that I found her very unlikeable. Her and Katie did not portray good chemistry, didn't seem like they would be friends let alone be romantic with each other. The only saving grace from this movie was the Aunt. I wouldn't recommend this movie to anyone.

Can't say enough about how this film was special. I needed something just like it to shut out all the noise. Very well done. In addition, I lived in Toledo for a spell after college and there was a similar thing called Any Wednesday. It was always a special, unexpected evening as well. Watch it.

"Princess Cyd" is one of the most lovely LGBTQ films I've seen in recent memory. With all of the raw romance of "Blue Is The Warmest Color," without the gratuitous, overly long sex scenes, "Princess Cyd" is truly a beautiful movie that'll give you butterflies in your stomach and make you fall in love with the characters just as quickly as they fall in love with each other. Now, was that a mildly pretentious opening paragraph to this review? Of course it was, but I really wanted to convey how gorgeous this movie is, both aesthetically as well as internally. For one thing, the cinematography is truly a sight to behold, bursting with light and color and beauty. There are scenes in this film that I'm still thinking of because of how pretty they were to look at. And of course, the romance between the two main characters was a joy to witness as well. The movie shows Cyd, played marvelously by Jessie Pinnick, slowly realizing that she's gaining interest in a local barista. Now I've had plenty of coffeeshop crushes, the only difference being I've never actually been successful in getting a date out of any of them. Cyd, she should be teaching day game classes because she starts dating this girl faster then you can say "I'm not gay but at this point if a guy was interested in me I'd be willing to give him a chance." My own ramblings about my love life aside, the one thing I didn't enjoy about this movie, or rather the one thing I found mildly unrealistic, was how quickly the relationship between Cyd and her love interest moved. It seems like within a few days of knowing her, Cyd is already talking about have sex with her, which is not a bad thing at all, it just seemed like the director kind of wanted to rush their romance instead of taking a little more time to develop it. Also, there is some mildly cringy dialogue in this film, dialogue that I cannot imagine ever taking place in real life. For example, there is a scene where Cyd tells her love interest that she plays soccer, and she responds with, "Soccer? That's fu*king hot!" Now maybe that's a normal reaction to have when someone tells you that they play soccer, but I'll be damned if it didn't make me cringe in my seat because of how unexpectedly sexual her response to Cyd playing soccer was. There are a few other moments of uncomfortably unrealistic dialogue as well, but other than that, "Princess Cyd" is absolutely gorgeous. If you like romance films, and if you like LGBTQ romance films, I'm betting that you'll like this film. I really like romance movies, and I especially find LGBTQ romance films heartwarming for whatever reason, and "Princess Cyd" seemed to be just what I needed - I'm not ashamed to say that I fell in love with the film. 9/10

A young girl goes to spend the summer with her famous writer aunt. They haven't seen each other for a long time, for reasons unknown, and the entire film is about the interaction between the two women and some locals. There is some lesbian romance involved, discussions about books and sex and a bit of coming of age. The acting is good, the characters complex, the story all about exploring those characters. There is little tension and it's all about women being women. If it weren't for the success of Call My By Your Name I would have liked almost everything about it. However, with that movie in mind, Princess Cyd felt a little bit derivative, although the subject matter is reasonably different. All and all, a movie I recommend to people who enjoy complex characters and discussing real human issues.

I really enjoyed this simple film, it has a lot of heart. both the main character cyd and the aunt were really beautiful characters dealing with life and connection. both those actresses are so charismatic.

As other reviewers have said, I approached watching this film with low expectations, i.e., as one of Netflix's films that don't necessarily measure up, but boy was I wrong! Princess Cyd is one of the better films I've seen recently. I think what makes it so good is that the potential is there for it to fall into predictable, cliched material, and yet it doesn't. Rather, it is a beautifully acted and written script in which the two main characters enjoy and respect each other. The character of Aunt Miranda is so likable and admirable that she sets the standard for the whole film. We watch as she and her young niece spend time together during a summer, getting to know each other as well as themselves. I loved how not only did Cyd learn from her aunt, but her aunt learned from her, too. The film overall has a peaceful, though not boring, feeling, with many likable characters.

I don't review movies much anymore, but there were things about Princess Cyd that I wanted to make note of, in hopes that others who are '... hmm... not sure..'. might give it a chance if they come across it. It's on Netflix and I'm sure available other places too. I've watched a lot of indie dramas through my life and rarely have I come across one that felt as satisfying as this by the closing credits. Poignant without being saccharine, intelligent without being "clever", slow but well paced. Mostly though, I was impressed at the choices made by the writer/director, and very probably the editor, to avoid dramatic cliches and over-used tropes. There's a sense of quiet subversion at work here, a sense of veering off in a new direction at the moments we've been trained to think 'Ohhh, I know exactly where this is about to go, and ohhh I wish it wasn't.' Pleasantly surprising. I don't want to give much away, let others be equally surprised. If you like films that make you feel you haven't seen them before, that show restraint and intelligent plotting, well you could do a hell of a lot worse than Princess Cyd. I kinda loved it. 8/10 is high for me.

I have been pretty bored with movies over the past few years as they all have the same story over and over, masked killer, guy get's the girl, another another cinderella story movie, oh look there's aliens, be silent otherwise they'll get you. I've heard it all. Sometimes Hulu has a knack for having rare Indie films like this. Princess Cyd was amazing. I am giving it an 8 out of 10 only b/c I didn't like the ending, I wished there was more to the plot/story, and I could feel the chemistry among all of the actors/actresses. I don't know how big the budget was b/c I feel like they almost ran out towards the end, or maybe they didn't know how to wrap up the story. I think this movie deserves a sequel but a definite better plot and more of the couple. Maybe they're trying to force to stay together even though they're headed in opposite paths. A time jump here and there, they find each other again and sparks fly. Maybe Katie is hiding something from Cyd and Cyd can't handle it. I don't know...maybe it's something with Cyd's family and how Cyd and Katie can't be together. Or maybe a jealous ex boyfriend. I don't know....Maybe they could take a trip for a month before starting college and they're in Paris or something. They go on an adventure and something else. Give this movie a fighting chance.
