Critics Consensus

What Princesas lacks in unique insight into its subject matter, it more than makes up in its sensitive, empathetic portrayal of women engaged in the world's oldest profession.

2/5
With not a pimp in sight, no mention of people-trafficking, and a single token drug-addict, this Spanish prostitution drama is serenely old-fashioned. Go to Full Review
Kevin Maher The Times (UK) Dec 28, 2007
3/5
The film has inspirational messages about the rewards of multicultural integration, but its tacit approval of prostitution as a rewarding career choice seems a bit peculiar. Go to Full Review
Nick Funnell Time Out Dec 28, 2007
Compelling, frequently funny and, commendably, resists wrapping things up sentimentally. Nice Manu Chao soundtrack, too. Go to Full Review

Princesas is heartwarming and sporadically surprising, bolstered by beautifully measured performances. Go to Full Review
