Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
Kilcher is lovely. But sadly, Ka'iulani is a perfunctory biopic of the sort one might encounter on television during Women's History Month.

Watching Princess Kaiulani, you're not sure whether to weep for the title character or the actress playing her.

rotten:
An uneven film that, by trying to satisfy parents with political drama and older children with a love story, leaves both parties wanting.

rotten:
As the doomed princess, Q'orianka Kilcher ... has imperially striking features but limited acting skills.

rotten:
There are too many swooping violins, too many trite generalizations, too few moments that throw a light on history and turn it into art.
