Picture
This film is a true heart-wrencher.  That does not mean that it is overly emotional.  Rather, it is just so like-able and relatable to the struggle of life that everyone endures.  As a Youtube vlogger, Princess Shaw struggles to get attention for her original music.  That is, until she is discovered by Kutiman who is an Israeli musician that uses random Youtube videos to create music.  Throughout this film, there is a sense of connection between the two artists who struggle to get recognition for their hard work.  Director Ido Haar connects the two characters in such a fantastic portrayal of their parallel lives.  Furthermore, the soundtrack hits home with Princess Shaw's original songs.  Her music is used in order to show her subtle rise to what one could call "fame."  

After the film, Princess Shaw herself came on stage for a Q&A whilst being applauded for her movie.  She seemed like such a genuine person that I had to check out her Youtube channel.  To me, documentaries have to have this effect where the viewer strives to learn more after the movie.  That being said, Presenting Princess Shaw left me wanting to learn more so I applaud Ido Haar, Princess Shaw, and Kutiman for their efforts in the making of this film.

The Bottom Line:  This film is very heart-felt and a beautiful portrait of how one person can fit into the bigger picture of life.

Score: 7.5/10
