100 Nights Of Hero

100 Nights Of Hero is a delightfully strange and proudly progressive queer feminist fairy tale. The film follows a young woman named Cherry (Maika Monroe) who lives in a heightened fairy tale world run by a cruel patriarchy who demand she become pregnant within 101 days or be executed, the only problem her husband barely touches her and one night makes a drunken bet with a new arrival to the kingdom (Nicholas Galitzine), if he can impregnate Cherry within 100 nights he will give him everything including the castle. But here’s the thing about Cherry she doesn’t want any of this, so she turns to housekeeper/loyal friend and master storyteller Hero (Emma Corrin) for help using her storytelling abilities to prevent this dashing stranger from succeeding. 100 Nights Of Hero is like a perfect hybrid of Ella Enchanted and Three Thousand Years Of Longing, based on a 2016 graphic novel the film is a feminist cinderella story with a dash of Lewis Carroll acid trip. It sometimes struggles to balance it’s plot with the other strange subplots and vignettes surrounding it but this film is almost guaranteed to be the new favorite film for some young people going through a similar internal journey as Cherry and Hero and for that alone it’s worth recommending but it’s also unique and fresh enough to appreciate as a film in and of itself, i really enjoyed it. 

I Give It 4 1/2 Stars!!!
