Storyline

Fifteen-year-old Jutka and her friend Zsuzsa leave their rural village for Budapest to work in a textile factory and seek independence. Their pursuit of freedom quickly unravels as they face the grim realities of industrial life, a transition compounded by Zsuzsa's unplanned pregnancy and Jutka's own search for stability in a harsh environment.

Princess remains technically brilliant and never less than compelling, albeit in a queasy, troubling fashion. Its images rattle in the memory like unclean ghosts.

Although morally ambiguous, with a message that is at best confused, this is a striking debut from a talented director.

Princess is rarely a dull watch, but it doesn't pack enough of an emotional punch.

All in all I am very impressed with the command and restraint Anders Morgenthaler shows with his movie.
