Prince Harming (2019)

Prince Harming: Directed by Marianne Hettinger. With Andreas Beckett, Marianne Hettinger, Deborah S. Craig, Martin Ewens. A woman falls in love with an Olympic skier she idolized as a teenager, who takes her down some very slippery slopes.

“From the get go, Prince Harming has all the trappings of a modern, charming rom-com – full of clever set pieces and witty banter – though by no means overly sweet. Life is hard for this New York gal, though she never lets it get her down, always pushing forward with a smile and her eternal optimism. When she does at last meet her Blue Prince, it feel like fate is rewarding her. Of course something is not quite right with him and we the audience keep waiting for that other shoe to drop – and drop it does with a loud THUD! When the darkness comes, it comes hard, building to point of raw, real, discomfort – as it should. Prince Harming is a cautionary tale of wanting too badly and of not seeing the evil right in front of us. Of being a victim and at last having the strength to put a stop to it and regaining ones SELF. A great mix of genres and a well made and well acted film…”
