The King's Daughter (2022)
The King's Daughter (2022)
Overview
A PG-rated fantasy adventure set in the court of Louis XIV, The King's Daughter follows an illegitimate princess who discovers her father has captured a mermaid to harvest its life force for immortality. She defies him to protect the creature. The Leans Traditional label fits a film that leans on classic fairy-tale structure, a predominantly period-appropriate cast, and Christianity framed positively. The daughter does challenge her father's authority and reject an arranged marriage, which nudges toward individual choice over tradition, but those beats land inside a broadly conservative moral frame: compassion and sacrifice win, unchecked ambition loses. No LGBTQ or progressive identity themes appear.
