Peter Debruge Chief Film Critic A medieval word with a highly specific (but often misused) meaning, “damsel” describes a young, unmarried lady-in-waiting. It’s also the broad title given many a helpless heroine in Hollywood movies — the proverbial “damsel in distress,” trussed to the train tracks or otherwise waiting to be saved.
Elodie is neither of those in Netflix’s pleasantly disruptive fantasy story, which places “Enola Holmes” star Millie Bobby Brown squarely in control of her fate. A revisionist fairy tale in which Elodie is hastily married off and served up as dragon chow to satisfy a generations-old curse, “Damsel” treats Elodie as an action hero for our less gender-rigid times.
The loud-and-clear message, achieved by eliminating “distress” from the title (though it’s still an essential part of the formula): Passive damsels be damned! Here’s a woman who can fend for herself! The eldest daughter of one Lord Bayford (Ray Winstone), kindly patriarch of a cash-strapped land, Elodie first appears with her hair and makeup neatly in place. She’s ready to pose for a royal portrait, if she cared about such things (she’s more inclined to bow hunting and horseback riding).
By the end of the tale, she’s charred and scarred, her dress dirty and torn to shreds, having endured a “Die Hard”-level gantlet of dangers. (Technically, Elodie has survived much worse, as tough guy Bruce Willis didn’t have to contend with a fire-breathing reptile.
Like John Rambo, she can sew her own wounds.) Elodie isn’t so much a damsel as she is a maiden, and she’s hardly the first who can get by without being rescued by a man. Rather, she’s the latest — and arguably the most resourceful — in a cycle that began with Disney’s “Frozen” a few years

Millie Bobby Brown is addressing criticism she’s been receiving for her accent.
Millie Bobby Brown had fans wondering what’s going on with her accent after her recent interview on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
“There are many stories of chivalry, where the heroic knight saves the damsel in distress…. This is not one of them,” Millie Bobby Brown intones in a solemn voiceover at the beginning of filmmaker Juan Carlos Fresnadillo’s distinctly unexceptional fantasy film, “Damsel.” And from this day forth, let’s make a cinematic decree that no film should ever be allowed to begin with such a banal “this is not one of these stories” proclamation, and the trope should be henceforth forever banished from the kingdom of movie narratives—especially when said film is so disposable with nothing to say about its already paper-thin ideas.
basically brought a GRWM look to the Drew Barrymore Show, and I can’t say that I’m mad about it. It’s time to normalize sweats and pimple patches on TV, folks. The slumber party vibes were undeniable on the March 7 episode, with Brown and Barrymore cuddled up on a couch in matching purple sweats.
