Critic Reviews

Justin Lowe

A stirring romantic drama centering on the last royal heir to the native line of traditional monarchs. Read full review

Movieline Michelle Orange

Designed to be both essential history lesson and costume weeper, Princess Kaiulani comes up short on both fronts: Deadly earnest intentions and lack of dramatic gumption ensure that the story of Hawaii’s favored daughter remains under-told. Read full review

Steven Rea

Kilcher is lovely. But sadly, Ka'iulani is a perfunctory biopic of the sort one might encounter on television during Women's History Month. Read full review

Gary Goldstein

The film is too reverently drawn and self-consciously played to muster any real momentum. Read full review

Peter Rainer

As the doomed princess, Q’orianka Kilcher, who costarred as Pocahontas in Terence Malick’s “The New World,” has imperially striking features but limited acting skills. If her performances should ever rise to the level of her looks, she’ll be great. Read full review

Keith Uhlich

Kilcher makes the slog worthwhile--her face gleams with possibility, even in the character’s darkest moments--though one prays she escapes the typecasting trap ASAP. Read full review

V.A. Musetto

The landscapes are exotic and Kilcher is erotic, but the film plays like a generic made-for-TV biopic. Read full review
