Cinderella

Ahhhh gosh this movie is soo sweet, it's one of the best fairy tale adaptations I've ever seen. It's maybe a bit too idealistic for my taste, something for which I can give it a pass because it is, after all, a fairy tale. The costume design is pretty unmatched, as we can all agree. Cate Blanchett also brings so many layers to the evil stepmother with her performance that I ADORE. I love that Ella actually stands up to her in the end, but I wish the writers had found a way to give her slightly more agency in getting Kit and the soldiers to notice her presence in the attic. Anyways, stacked cast, beautiful costumes, standout performances, well-paced. Love this movie.
