A mediocre coming-of-age film, Princess Cyd is pretty bland. The story follows a young teenage girl who goes to visit her estranged aunt, an acclaimed novelist, and learns to appreciate her cultured lifestyle. The script isn’t written very well and isn’t quite sure whose journey this is; the aunt’s or the niece’s. And the directing is fairly mundane, doing nothing to heighten the drama or add any tension. Princess Cyd is a forgettable film that’s rather boring and unremarkable.
This movie is so good, it made my heart full, it gave me joy. It’s not a simple sapphic love story, it has so much more, the details and developments from the relationships it’s really good to watch. It’s a hidden gem

Quietly affecting drama that seems slight on the surface, but has much resonance lying deeper within. These are real people, and they are a pleasure and delight to be around. Heck, I wish I could be within their social circles! A hidden gem.
