Review of Cinderella (2015) by Reellm — 22 Jun 2015
4/5★Will Cinderella mark the end of subversive and what might be called the 'Nolanesque' style of movie making? Has Kenneth Branagh exemplified a way to modernize classic tales without trying to make them about gritty and tortured antiheroes in an attempt to modernize them? It worked for Batman but TMNT was a misfire.
Cinderella is a good, if slightly boring film, with an excellent cast and outstanding performances by Cate Blanchett and Lily James. The costumes are beautiful, the prince handsome and the girl charming: Are we witnessing a return of the romance to Hollywood or was Disney just being respectful of the enduring legacy of one Fairytaledom's most beloved characters? Only time will tell.
Verdict: Watch.
