But mostly it's a portrait of how a frightened young girl grew into an extraordinary woman. The film begins in 1889, when civil unrest unseated Hawaii's royal family and the Hawaiian people began a struggle to maintain their independence and right of self-governance, and when the 13-year-old princess Ka'iulani (Q'orianka Kilcher), who was next in line for the Hawaiian throne, was exiled to England to ensure her safety. Shot on location in both England and Hawaii by indie director Marc Forby, this breathtakingly beautiful film follows Ka'iulani as she is plopped down in a foreign world that looks upon Hawaiians as barbarians and where her royal heritage counts for virtually nothing. Princess Ka'iulani, or "Victoria," as the English often call her, endures harsh treatment at the hands of both teachers and students at boarding school, but she refuses to crumble, carrying on with a strength and quiet resolve that's powerfully portrayed by Kilcher. As Ka'iulani matures, she falls in love with Englishman Clive Davies (Shaun Evans) and becomes engaged. Just as Ka'iulani's happiness seems assured, her father visits her in England, bringing with him serious news: her uncle, King Kalakaua (Ocean Kaowili), has died unexpectedly after having been forced to adopt a constitution in conflict with the best interests of the Hawaiian people, and Ka'iulani's aunt Liliu'okalani (Leo Anderson Akana), who ascended to the throne, has subsequently been put under house arrest and removed from power. Incensed by the grave injustices inflicted upon her people, Princess Ka'iulani is propelled by her inherent sense of duty to sacrifice her own potential happiness. She journeys first to America, where she eloquently pleads with outgoing president Grover Cleveland for his help, and later to Hawaii, where she fights for her people's rights in person. Princess Kaiulani is a powerful film, and what comes across so strongly is not just the often-overlooked perspective of the native Hawaiian people regarding America's annexation of Hawaii and the cultural consequences of that annexation, but the truly heroic acts of Hawaii's extraordinary Princess Ka'iulani. --Tami Horiuchi Q'orianka Kilcher (The New World) stars as Princess Ka'iulani, the bright and beautiful heir to the Hawaiian throne in this epic true story. Review: Princess Kaiulani is a great movie! - I really enjoyed Princess Ka`iulani. I was lucky enough to see it at the premiere in Honolulu. This movie is based on a true story of a real person. It is not a documentary, so not perfectly true to history, but tells the story in an interesting, compelling way. The images - both Hawaii and England - are beautiful, the scenery lush. The acting is superb - Q'orianka Kilcher put in a stunning performance as the princess. She is so real, so believable, she made the role come to life for me. Barry Pepper as Thurston comes off as a villain and Will Patton as Dole is a peacemaker between both factions, the Queen and the landowners. Jimmy Yuill as the father of the Princess is so believable. He seems to truly want what is best for his daughter. The banquet scene, where the Princess asks for the vote for the Hawaiian people, I found to be very powerful. Women didn't even have the vote in the late 1800's, yet this young woman was able to get the vote for her people. Amazing! Princess Ka`iulani was a truly amazing person. This film gives us a glimpse of her life - and entertains us as well. This film had only a limited run in theaters. It should be seen by more people and viewing it on DVD it could get a wider audience - it deserves a bigger audience! I've ordered several copies, for myself and as gifts for family and friends. Review: A Beautiful Movie! - I've been waiting to see a movie on the life of Princess Kaiulani and this film did not disappoint. The story was well thought out and rich with meaning, and in all the places where creative license was taken it was done with the utmost care and taste. The music and emotion of the film were so easy to get caught up in. It truly made me feel as if I were there observing the life of the princess as she grew into womanhood and discovered her own inner strength. The role of Hawaii's last queen was also well done and I would now love to see a film done by the same director and crew on her life (well one can dream). Overall an excellent film, and one that I feel honored to have in my collection. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Contributor | Barry Pepper, Marc Forby, Q'orianka Kilcher | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 1,526 Reviews | | Format | AC-3, Closed-captioned, Color, Dolby, Multiple Formats, NTSC, Subtitled, Widescreen | | Genre | Drama/British Empire | | Language | English | | Runtime | 1 hour and 37 minutes | ## Images ![Princess Kaiulani - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91GtbmJeu5L.jpg) ![Princess Kaiulani - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/616iM1cdLkL.jpg) ![Princess Kaiulani - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71sfniIgVKL.jpg) ![Princess Kaiulani - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81Xih41kUaL.jpg) ![Princess Kaiulani - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71BXEw9WFYL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Princess Kaiulani is a great movie! *by M***Z on July 19, 2010* I really enjoyed Princess Ka`iulani.
