Heartfelt coming-of-age drama has heavy themes.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 2, 2020

Both [Tayler] Buck and [Edi] Gathegi deserve awards for their gratifying performances.

Full Review | Nov 30, 2020

"Gathegi does incredible work, but he's let down by a screenplay that increasingly treats him as a walking deus ex machina."

Based on performances alone, Princess of the Row is a must-see indie.

Full Review | Nov 28, 2020

Tackling two heavy issues in one film is a large order. At times Princess tries too hard to drive the competing messages home but the film never wanders into sentimental territory.

[T]he final path of this story is almost guaranteed from the start.

A drama about the homeless that doesn't blink.

Princess of the Row is a loving look at a small family that just want to get through life with whatever comforts they can find. If that isn't universal, I don't know what is.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 3, 2019

This is a lovely piece of art that will move you.

Full Review | Original Score: A- | Apr 1, 2019

Princess of the Row is a touching and worthwhile look at how the other half lives.

Full Review | Original Score: 7/10 | Mar 25, 2019

Princess of the Row is a cautionary tale of how our country doesn't value veterans and makes you think twice the next time you drive or walk past a homeless camp. You never know where someone has come from to get where they are.
