Royalteen

I have read the books and this film follows book 1 closely. It was so similar to how I imagined it when I read the book, so well done there! I recommend seeing it, but keep in mind that not everything is tied up in the end. This might have worked better as a TV series. It sort of felt like episode 1, and I imagine it would be a bit annoying to watch this and not know what happens next already. That said, the scenery is beautiful, the actors are believable and good - nice to see actual teenagers play roles their age! If you liked Young Royals or Skam, this a movie for you. I really hope they continue this and make movies of the next books, too.

This is a boilerplate Cinderella story that is somewhat enjoyable but marred with myriad f-bombs. It's a Norwegian production so that's interesting and scenic views of Norway are pleasing. What is a bit odd, besides the foul language even among royalty is there imbedded sexual values. It becomes clear that teen sex is expected and as about as common as going to the movies. That's more that a bit upsetting but more so is the typical Hollywood single blasphemy early in the movie. So, atheism seems to be the expectation in that country and their film industry takes cues from the dark side in the USA.

It took me to the very end to realize I was amongst something and someone's who just created something very very special! I don't know cause of how it ended if this is going to be a part II or a show but I sure hope it is a show cause they set this up beautifully! I don't know what exactly they did, but it hit on just the right spots to make me want more , it enticed me and made me , it just made me happy! It was incredible, could of done with one lil' teen girl angst towards the mom at the end scene but otherwise perfect! Hopefully this picks up as a show! Really really masterful job, I see its from a book so I wonder what is up, I am from America so I don't know much about what's going on abroad but golly thanks for seeing the possibilities in the book and making something really truly impressive hopefully the source creators are happy with this cause I loved it!

Too much at once. They just skipt everything important, like where did all this come from. It was like the writer really wanted every teen romance movies in one movie. I would have been better if it was a series and not a 2 hour film.

I was honestly surprised because I was expecting it to be very cliché and turns out it was actually quite deep. However I can't understand what the hell happened with the end, I seriously wondered if they actually forgot to add some scenes because it doesn't make any sense to me. For example, what the hell is up with Ingrid? There are so many shots focusing on her looking jealous or suspicious so the obvious explanation for me is that she's the one who posted the picture of the prince and not Tess but why is the issue not resolved? Why does the Prince just take Lena back because she apologised for lying about her child when all the problems between them had almost nothing to do about it? Same for the princess at the end, I figured Ingrid might have put something in her drink to record her/take a picture and post it like she might have done with the prince but why is there so much for the viewer to figure out by himself? I do think having to figure out things that are untold makes a good movie in most cases but this was just extremely badly executed. The only reasonable explanation is that they're going to make a second movie but even if it is the case, it is still weird to end a movie that way.

This had the makings of a good film, with a refreshing view of a royal/commoner romance, and a likable cast. It felt a little bit like the UK TV series Sex Education, except there's no comedy. Unfortunately there are substantial flaws. The romance commenced too quickly, and everything in the story seemed rushed. The conclusion left unresolved story arcs aplenty (i.e. The queen, the princess, Lena's unrevealed history, the mystery uploader) as if this is part one of a dilogy or trilogy. However I am not aware of any impending sequels. I still enjoyed it until the unsatisfactory ending.

At first I was like "let's kill my time with an easygoing cliché teen movie", but actually it turned out to be a remarkable teen movie! Bravo! I really enjoyed it! I would like to see it to last more, because at some scenes was too fast the plot!

Emotionally intelligent, with depth - enjoyable too. Not your usual teen drama, much more nuanced and mature. Some parts a bit cliché, but overall excellent.
