The latest Star Wars film saga has not been the most memorable, but it has left us with some of the most interesting actors of the moment. The most striking ones are, obviously, Daisy Ridley and John Boyega, who played the protagonists in three films, and now you can see the former in a very different role on Amazon Prime Video.
Jeff Bezos’ streaming platform has included in its catalog one of the darkest films ever made by any Star Wars actor. It is a feature film in which we see Daisy Ridley in a very different role from Star Wars, but still maintaining her charisma as an actress at its highest. Its name is The Marsh King’s Daughter and it was released at the end of last year.
Daisy Ridley in her darkest role
In The Marsh King’s Daughter, Daisy Ridley takes on the role of Helena, a young woman who has spent her childhood in captivity because, two years before her birth, the so-called ‘Marsh King’ kidnapped her mother. Now, convinced that he will try to take her daughter, Helena decides to take revenge on the man who, by the way, taught her everything she knows about survival in nature.
In addition to Ridley, the film features Ben Mendelsohn and Garrett Hedlund in the cast. In fact, despite mixed reviews, most people argue that it is the actors who make the film reach a much higher level than it could have. Especially the Star Wars protagonist, who has not had a very fruitful career beyond the franchise despite her good acting skills. Without a doubt, it is worth taking a look at this feature film available on Amazon Prime Video.
