Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Aranoa's film is a small miracle of controlled empathy.
– John Patterson,
L.A. Weekly,
31 Aug 2006
fresh:
Writer-director Fernando Leon de Aranoa embraces a pair of Madrid streetwalkers with such affection and compassion that their story, even though prostitutes are a staple of the movies, actually seems fresh and distinctive.
– Kevin Thomas,
Los Angeles Times,
1 Sep 2006
rotten:
While Princesas offers sensitive and beautifully wrought performances by its two leads (Candela Pena and Micaela Nevarez, who each won Goya Awards), the film offers little new in way of substance or theme.
– Frank Scheck,
Hollywood Reporter,
7 Sep 2006
fresh:
Aranoa sketches a melancholy based on accurate human observation.

fresh:
