Stephen C @bob25009 May 28, 2025 1 hour and 25 minutes of non-stop drama. Some viewers may find this movie inappropriate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See more Greg M @SolisisQ Aug 28, 2024 Definitely a step up in this particular genre. Pay attention to the subtleties. There are plenty, and you might miss something if you look away. I recommend it. See more Sal D @JustTheLaw Jun 25, 2023 Definitely must watch indie movie. Taylor Buck's performance is alone is a stand out - kudos also to Edi Gathegi - but the script, direction and peripherals character development all make this film seem real and heartbreaking - not exploitive or Hollywood saccharine flavored. See more wayne m @Wayne93 Sep 27, 2022 Princess of the Row is a heavy and hard hitting film about a very serious issue, but one that also manages to include a human story of hope. Homelessness is a major issue in the US and this film serves that story well. Bo is a former Army vet who now suffers PTSD and lives on Skid Row in Los Angeles. His loving daughter Alicia spends time in various foster homes whilst still trying to support her father. They both have no true supporter base and every day is a constant struggle. Each scene is Alicia trying to hold her small family unit togther. Overall this film works quite well although the story is a little uneven at times. Taylor Buck and Ed Gathegi are very good as daughter and father in this strong and vital film. See more Jerod S @jeroduptown Feb 18, 2022 With a dad that suffers great mental illness as a vet, this little girl goes down a path of trying to save him but ultimately having to save herself. A straight on view of homeless and the struggle. See more Mar 19, 2021 Just as I figured: not a single negative review. For who would rate this well-meaning mess as rotten; it would indicate not having a heart, right? Not being sensitive to the plight of the homeless and mentally ill. This film is basically homeless/Skid Row porn, with a father character made up to look grotesque and monster-like (was the whitened eye even necessary? Geez!); he's so severely mentally ill that he would barely recognize the daughter in reality. But instead, he's compliant to the youths directions, and virtually endowed with super-powers when the script calls for it. The acting, overall, is bad, as is the uninspired and implausible script. The near-rape scene of the little girl is too graphic and unnecessary--quite disturbing--but, too, quite rewarding ultimately. A heavy-handed film that adds little to the true plight of LA's homeless, mentally ill residents. Did I mention how nothing rings true, and why is Martin Sheen in it, and why was it made? Just why?
