Top Critics Reviews
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.

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

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

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

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