Inclubabu Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Payno I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Wayne Mason "Princesas" from start to finish embarks on the tumultuous lives of two prostitutes. Seemingly stereotypical, however not! Centered on Caye, the movie begins with her inducting the audience into the explicit business of sexual solicitation. Giving spectators a moment to retrieve those dehumanizing views that have historically plagued whores since prostitution began. Then with a twist of superb artistry, director "Fernando Leon De Aranoa," invites viewers' into Caye's world which surprisingly happens to be filled with desire, insight, and awareness. Full of compassion, Caye validates the fact that even those who are deemed societal outcast live sophisticated lives and deal with the same complications outside of occupation that confound us all. As we identify what is important and what is not. Her loyalty to Zulema, concern for others, and high morality balance her violation of cultural taboo while illuminating her light as a person.Zulema's character reveals the unsettling issues that the intrusion of mass immigration brings about a nation. She travels to Spain for the same reasons that many immigrants migrate to other places throughout the world. In search for better, as a necessary means to provide for her family; as a result, Zulema's sale of sex for money can be seen as a struggle of survival not just for herself but for her son. Unfortunately, it also can be perceived as a misrepresentation of a people, because Zule's native counterparts have developed a negative regard for immigrants due to their gratuitous behavior. Her relationship with Caye begins over this conflict. But a person's color is a social construct, Zulema and Caye's economic and social commonalities along with their aspirations overpower their racial differences. I would suggest to anyone watch the movie "Princesas."Not because of its nature, but because of its message. Fernando creates a film full of spirit. It confides in personal goodness over personal actions. Displaying good humanity as a feat anyone can achieve despite deviant behavior and illustrates that no one's life is more important than another's.

Jennifer Galbraith Fernando Leon De Aranoa has created a film showing the realistic struggles that might be experienced by anyone existing in society, particularly the lower class. Princesas follows the life of Caye (Played by Candela Pena), which I find interesting because "Caye" means "street", and Caye works the streets, and her friend Zulema (played by Micaela Nevarez). Caye is a citizen of Spain, raised in a middle-class family, and Zulema is an immigrant from the Dominican Republic. Zulema has come to Spain hoping to obtain a working license, and tries to save money to bring her son to Spain. There are other prostitutes who have immigrated to Spain and turned to prostitution as an occupation, and this creates tension with the prostitutes that are Spanish Citizens. Caye Spanish friends are all prejudice against the immigrant prostitutes, accusing them of stealing their jobs, and Caye struggles to maintain her friendship with both the Spanish prostitutes and Zulema. The friendship between Caye and Zulema grows stronger as the movie progresses, and their friendship helps them overcome obstacles.During the day, the lighting in this movie seems very natural, as if the sun is the sole source of lighting. This gives an authentic feel to the movie, instead of Hollywood dramatization that can be caused by artificial lighting. The obstacles that the characters face are also realistic. They are not far fetched, and their situations could potentially happen to anyone in their shoes. This adds to the realistic feel of the movie. Most of the shots in Princesas are done at an eye-level angle, which allows the viewer to get absorbed into the movie, forgetting that it is just a movie and not reality. Whenever the characters have an emotional scene, the camera zooms in, showing a close up of their faces. This really emphasizes the emotion, whether it's sorrow, joy, or anger, and allows the viewer to feel more connected to the characters.The authenticity of Princesas will draw you in, and the strong bond of friendship between two women as they struggle through life will keep you captivated, feeling their joy and sorrow as you follow their journey.

lastliberal 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.

saturn5534 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.
