Watch Princesses For Free

Fantastic!

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Prostitution is an interesting subject dealt countless times since the invention of motion picture. Sometimes in a humorous tone, often dark, a few times melodramatic and sometimes as oppressed. But Spanish director Fernando Leon De Aranoa's Princesas takes on an altogether new and different platform with equal doses of all these genres. Clubbed with chart-topping music, engaging cinematography, and real awesome acting, Princesas is one of Spain's finest and the best two hours one can have.The screenplay and story are fresh and tackle prostitution from a different view-point. There is racism, rape, communicable diseases, family problems, want of money and love stories. All in the bag but none is made the center-of-focus. The focus always remains the relationship between two prostitutes and how they, despite being from different backgrounds, come close due to the similar situations they find themselves stuck in.There is hardly any boring moment throughout. The screenplay twists and turns effectively. The character of Caey's boyfriend is very well developed. Their first date, the scene in the bathroom, 'picking up after work' are very well written and executed but what is marvelous is the character's culmination. Mutely looking at each other in the ugly situation, coping up with their flaws and losses, Candela Pena and Luis Callejo are just terrific in this scene. But what made the film for me was Micaela Nevarez' performance. The fact that she has acted in just two films baffles me. He character was strong and meaty and she uses the opportunity effectively.Candela Pena has a charming screen presence and shares an enticing chemistry with Nevarez. She is nature to the core and makes us laugh and sympathize with her at the same time. Her scenes with her family and her mother are another highlight. The background score is gritty and nerve- raising but what steals the show in the end are the two songs by Machu Pinnu. They are meaningful, hummable and bring the fun-factor. Fernando takes a commercial approach & doesn't bother to make any social commentary. The film is realistic, fun, sad and entertaining. The center of the film is always the two characters (the princesses) dealing through their shortcomings and the sort of work that earns them their living.The film is filled with numerous story lines and undercurrents that happen simultaneously and depicts the lives of two odd prostitutes in Spain to near perfection. It is delightful to watch, hard-hitting at places, realistic but amusing, entertaining and tells a wonderful story. A strong 8 on 10.

With a name like "Princesas" I was expecting something totally different. Prostitution, domestic violence, racism and undocumented workers are topics touched in "Princesas". Also, all throughout the movie, there are suggestions that everything on T.V. must be true. Trust in media was very dominant. I was in a intense daze, not wanting to walk away for even a bathroom break. Fernando Leon de Aranoa did an amazing job!!!! Caye, a prostitute in Madrid, yearns for a love to simply pick her up from work, wherever that may be. Love, in her eyes are the little things. Caye saves money to get new boobs and eventually attract a man that loves her (and buys her a house). She shows her insecurity by gluing her picture on other bodies but later decides that she doesn't need them and her money could go to better use.The repeats of the significance of the black "sexy girl" shirt are pretty important. Caye noticed the shirt in admiration in the beginning of the film. She sees it again when running late and lost one of her appointments to Zulema. After becoming friends, she asks to borrow it for a date. Lastly, we see the shirt on Caye. The shirt was a token of beautyAgain the focus on men as being evil, even Caye's nice boyfriend. We find this out toward the end of the film when his buddy is calling her cell phone.

To my recollection, I have only seen one other movie about the lives of prostitutes. Sure there was Pretty Woman, but that really didn't get into the actual work. This film is different and really does a great job showing the less glamorous side.Fernando León de Aranoa wrote and directed the film and it moves along well. It certainly keeps your interest. The soundtrack is also a big plus.Candela Peña (All About My Mother) is Caye, who rarely smiles as she deals with her mother, who seems to be losing it, and tries to establish a real relationship that keeps bumping up against her occupation.A new actress, Micaela Nevárez is Zulema, who is consumed with the child she left in the Dominican Republic. She is trying to get papers to get out of Spain, and is taken advantage of by a sleazy public official. She gets revenge in an unusual way.Together Caye and Zulema are friends and they try to survive in spite of their occupation. It is a times funny, and certainly sad as they try to find that opening to a better life.

This is a very well written movie based on reality. Actor's performances are great,I really enjoyed this movie it kept me glued to the TV screen until the end. I like the movie because is a drama of an immigrant whom driven by the bad economic situation of her country, was forced to leave the homeland and work as a prostitute in Madrid, Spain. She was sexually abused by a Spaniard bureaucrat with the promise of a visa to stay legally in the country. She mets a Spaniard girl whom just to be a prostitute too (Caye) they understand each other creating a true friendship until Zulema has to leave the country because her HIV results came back positive. A very human story that is worth to see it.
