La principessa del sogno

The movie is about as predictable as they come, but I still never wanted to turn it off and I watched through to the end. It was executed well and had enough depth to keep me interested. In cases like this I like to examine the film and try to see what qualities kept me engaged. I would discuss this in greater detail, but I don't want to include any spoilers.

Irasema Dilián plays the part of a pretty and kind orphan whose favorite possession is a book of fairy tales. She has worked herself into believing that she is really a princess and she dreams that her prince will come for her eventually. Her belief in this fantasy leads her to make some hasty life choices.

It seemed to me that in real life, she could never be happy living in a fantasy like that but without giving too much away, I really appreciated her character's growth.

None of the other characters in the movie seemed to stand out much aside from one of the workers in the orphanage and one other orphan.

I would have appreciated additional character development surrounding the other orphan and I would have liked to have seen some of the loose ends tied up better but I still enjoyed this movie, although I believe it wouldn't be appreciated by all audiences.
