I was more interested in the overthrow of Hawaii then the love story that nearly took over the entire run time of this film.

Excellent acting, cinematography, and storytelling

I absolutely loved this movie. The rich history of Hawaii was very interesting and the performances were wonderful especially by the princess. Highly recommended!

Great movie I love it

Extremely underrated biopic. It barely feels like a 온라인카지노추천 movie

movie felt like sequel to Pocahontas in a way

Princess Ka'iulani (Q'orianka Kilcher): What my father is saying is that I'm grateful to be a guest and would never presume to talk about the politics of Hawaii, which reminds me of this hen. President Cleveland (Peter Banks): Hen reminds you of Hawaii? Princess Ka'iulani (Q'orianka Kilcher): "It does actually. Natural, unspoiled, perfect. For as long as anyone can remember, pepper has been the perfect seasoning for hen." She pours pepper. "Lately though, salt, a white mineral from the sea has been the fashion." She pours salt. "Careful to add just a bit, as the perfect balance can be easily upset." Then she pours cumin. "Should you introduce an American spice such as cumin, the salt is fortified, the hen destroyed." Princess Ka'iulani gets up to let President Cleveland have a taste. "Mr. President if you please." President Cleveland (Peter Banks): Has a taste, grunts, and spits it. "Terrible. Tell me, how do we restore natural flavor?" Princess Ka'iulani (Q'orianka Kilcher): Cumin has no place on the hen. President Cleveland (Peter Banks): Well Princess, I only have four weeks left in office. But I promise to do what I can to halt the use of cumin. You need to get your spices in order quickly young lady. President-elect McKinley is from Ohio and as far as I know, not a very good cook. Q'orianka Kilcher, who portrayed the lead role (Hawaiian princess Ka'iulani), did a pretty decent job but no offense to her performance; I just found the way she portrayed Ka'iulani in her youth a bit annoying. I know they were trying to portray the innocence of youth, hence Ka'iulani being all giggly, but it was just a little too stereotypical and came across a bit disingenuous. But overall, the film was really interesting and the rest of the supporting cast did a good job portraying each of their roles. The subject of the film was good, the plot was a bit too idealistic but overall very it was a very enlightening film.

Informative. Interesting. Beautiful. Admirable. Great musical score. Even though she never became Queen, she advocated for her people and won them the right to vote before most Americans had that right. Bravo. Free on Netflix streaming.

One of the few times you hear me say a movie should have been longer. This needed to have included more history of the Hawaiian culture and people, more shots of the beauty of the state before we Haole's came and "civilized" the natives. The story is okay, but is just an overview. The acting is average. An average movie about a topic close to my heart. I love Hawaii!

really true enjoyed the movie, of how our land was taken and how our royal princess Kau'ilani fought for her people.

I never turn off a movie, and I turned this one off. The first half-hour was excruciating, cramming all kinds of backstory into some of the deadest dialogue I've ever heard, and I just couldn't get past it. [Rating on full viewing pending... unlikely to ever be achieved.]

I really thought this was an interesting story.

The saddest thing about the film biopic Princess Ka'iulani isn't that it is about the last Princess of the Kingdom of Hawaii, it is that the entire production (direction, writing, editing, acting) is simply bad/sad. The Lifetime Movie Network-quality production stars Q'orianka Kilcher (The New World, "Neverland") as the tragically short-lived last Princess of the Kingdom of Hawaii (her death at the young-age of 23 does not figure into the film as the movie is about her life as teenager). At at the young age of 13, Ka'iulani is whisked away to Victorian England as American-backed forces in her father's kingdom have weakened the crown (America has always meddled!) and have placed the lives and positions of the royal family in peril. While away from her immediate family, the intelligent and charming princess falls in love with a young Englishman named Clive Davies (Shaun Evans - Being Julia, Boy A). When the Princess learns that the royal crown is in jeopardy of being lost, she leaves the love of her life in hopes of being able to save her beloved kingdom. To save the throne, she will need some outside help from America (namely by its president, Grover Cleveland); but most seem reluctant to help. The true story of Ka'iulani is incredible and by all accounts she was a highly-esteemed young individual (all-the-more-so in this case as she was a female); but this movie is dreadfully bad. As film is art, and some say fashion is art ... the death knell of wearable art are the words: "it looks so cheap". Those same four little words prove to be just as disasterous with this film. If one weeps during the runtime, he/she is doing it for all the wrong reasons. Yes -- this poor, poor, poor, sad, little film.

I really liked this movie. I don't know why people said it was bad, but I thought it was a really good movie. I have even wathced it a 2nd time.

It was a good movie about a time in history I know little about. The princess was a strong female. The production values are good, as is the acting.

The love story is Hollywood, the rest seems to be more or less Hawaii.

While it is beautifully photographed, its editing is a bit off and its pace too slow.

It was a good movie about a time in history I know little about. The princess is a strong female and easy to identify with.

Doesn't do the real Ka'iulani justice. Too many switching camera angles, bad casting choices, and weak script.
