‘Damsel’
Now that the 2024 Oscars are finally over, it’s time to get back to watching movies for fun. You can start with Damsel, the new fantasy film on Netflix starring Millie Bobby Brown as a princess of an impoverished kingdom, who agrees to marry another land’s prince (played by Love, Simon star Nick Robinson) in exchange for money for her people. She certainly didn’t expect her new groom to unceremoniously toss her into a cavern on her wedding day. Now, she must use her wits—and her surprisingly utilitarian wedding dress—to survive. The movie is slick, shiny, fantasy fun, and it’s a perfect star vehicle for the charming and talented Stranger Things actor.
