	Author	Review
United States	Nick Schager Variety	"Caring more about what its characters represent (...) than about crafting a fully formed drama concerning flesh-and-blood people, Cone’s film has little more than its heart in the right place."	NEU
United States	Jude Dry IndieWire	"A triumphant little film (...) Anchored by complicated, smart, funny women, 'Princess Cyd' is a rare delight of a film and a model for others to follow."	POS
United States	Gary M. Kramer Salon	"Beautiful, intimate (...) It's a remarkable show of restraint and a triumph of the power of character over that of conventional narratives."	POS
United States	Brian Tallerico rogerebert.com	"Excellent (...) Cone avoids familiarity by focusing so intently on character, allowing moments to feel like they’re coming naturally and for revelations, however minor, to feel organic."	POS
United States	Calum Marsh Village Voice	"An endearing, full-hearted comedy (...) I can think of no higher compliment than that the film’s warmth and generosity reminded me of the late Jonathan Demme."	POS
