Prince Ratings & Reviews
The Film Stage
Nick Allen
A Eurotrash hood movie, ineffectively placing a post-80s costume design and pastel color palette inside script elements as old as Mean Streets or something like Juice.
Eye for Film
Jennie Kermode
Elasri's engaging performance and de Jong's vibrant directorial style connect well to create an energetic and genuinely unusual little film.
The Playlist
Ken Guidry
It wants to be cute, it wants to cool, and it also wants to be thoughtful and engaging, but Sam de Jong is unable to make the story feel tight and focused enough to allow it to succeed on all those levels.
Variety
Justin Chang
A slender, morally simplified fable that makes up for its tonal and narrative imprecisions with considerable visual energy, musical pizzazz, and a panoply of colorful characters ...
Under the Radar
Cody Ray Shafer
Prince may be a little heavy on the style, but it is a contemporary style that lights up the story with energy.
RogerEbert.com
Brian Tallerico
While "Prince" feels a little slight when the credits roll less than 80 minutes after it begins, it's still a strong, creative addition to the crowded coming-of-age genre.
Paste Magazine
Andy Crump
Prince could use another 15 minutes to flesh out its narrative and its relationships -- what movie couldn't? -- but it uses its time wisely and with an enormous efficacy only matched in size by the film's heart.
Los Angeles Times
Michael Rechtshaffen
Although the disaffected youth drama knows no international boundaries, few have felt as fresh and consistently unpredictable as the slyly satirical "Prince" by Dutch filmmaker Sam de Jong.
New York Times
Helen T. Verongos
Instead of shades of ambiguity or a structure that quivers upon impact, Sam de Jong, the writer and director of "Prince," depicts a universe in absolute terms. Ayoub's arc from good boy to bad prince is too rapid and uncomplicated.
Chicago Reader
Ben Sachs
De Jong indulges in some shocking, violent imagery in these passages, and this detracts from the film's effective social portrait; so too does the aggressively loud synth-pop soundtrack.
Austin Chronicle
Steve Davis
At its narrative apex, Prince veers toward expected tragedy and then unexpectedly crumbles, both stylistically and thematically.
Newcity
Ray Pride
The dialogue is stylized, part hip-hop, part American Western, and many compositions are studies in landscapes that are cool and resistant to the figures within.
Film Journal International
Tomris Laffly
With pieces of its plot not deepened or stretched out far enough and tidily assuming their predictable spots in the finale, Prince oftentimes proceeds like a parade of tropes.
Village Voice
Ian S. Port
Expertly paced and gorgeous to behold, Sam de Jong's Dutch-language directorial debut sets a stylish coming-of-age story in a bleak Amsterdam housing project.
The Hollywood Reporter
David Rooney
This uneven but sweet bildungsroman is distinguished by its light tone and idiosyncratic handle on genre conventions.
Slant Magazine
Clayton Dillard
It revives hope for a pop-art cinema that's capable of treating characters like actual human beings rather than pawns on a chess board.
