Lily James portrays the central character in this vibrant reimagining of the familiar story about rising from poverty. Following her father’s passing, she's reduced to a servant for her sharp-tongued stepmother, portrayed by Cate Blanchett, and her unpleasant daughters, "Drisella" (Sophie McShera) and "Anastasia" (Holiday Grainger). Simultaneously, the attractive prince (Richard Madden), who seems to have had his trousers practically glued on, is discontented. His father (Sir Derek Jacobi) requires him to find a wife – but who will it be? The fairy tale then proceeds with the rest of the narrative, and Sir Kenneth Branagh adheres reasonably closely to the source material. Helena Bonham Carter appears to transform a pumpkin into a carriage, and... It's an acceptable adaptation overall. The level of detail is remarkable, showcasing the skill involved in creating the costumes, along with a pleasing score by Patrick Doyle (including a touch of "Bibbiddi-Bobbiddi-Boo") for what is a well-chosen and attractive film. There’s definitely too much dependence on computer-generated imagery, the connection between Madden and James doesn't spark significantly, and I would have liked to see more from Blanchett, Sir Derek – and Stellan Skarsgård, who provides some amusement as the "Grand Duke," but generally it proceeds in a stylish manner. Those with a keen eye may notice Josh C’Connor in an equally form-fitting uniform! Is this Disney or “The Slipper and the Rose” (1976)? Perhaps a combination of both, though not quite as good as either.
