Cinderella, Reviews
2015 film

Fascinatingly, much remains the same, including a fairy tale that opens with clear skies but soon plays the poor-little-girl blues before you-know-who comes along. Full review
Manohla Dargis·New York Times
The underlying property emerges untarnished, as director Kenneth Branagh reverently reimagines Charles Perrault's fairy tale for a new generation the world over. Full review
Peter Debruge·Variety
Nearly a century after that black-and-white cartoon short, and 65 years after a “classic” animated feature that missed the mark, Disney finally got Cinderella right — for now and, happily, ever after. Full review
Richard Corliss·Time
For all its gossamer, gauze, filigree and refinement, “Cinderella” drags when it should skip as lightly as its title character when she’s late getting home from the ball. Full review
Ann Hornaday·Washington Post
Disney gives a fresh (live action) face to its own Cinderella mythos. But this is not a fractured fairy tale as so many retellings are these days. Full review
Adam R. Holz·Plugged In
Cinderella plays it overly-safe in transitioning from cartoon-to-live-action but is sure to entertain Disney's go-to juice box crowd. Full review
Ben Kendrick·Screen Rant
The new film, directed by Kenneth Branagh, is nothing if not a tribute to the virtues of the old-fashioned, of care and craft and modesty, of simple stories well told. Full review
Christopher Orr·The Atlantic
Clothed in a colorful mishmash of historical fashions and scored to sweeping strings, the movie is like an antique cut-crystal vase: gorgeous, fragile, empty. Full review
Ignatiy Vishnevetsky·A.V. Club
The radiant Lily James (Lady Rose on Downton Abbey) brings a glint of frisky feminism to the mistreated Ella. Full review
Peter Travers·Rolling Stone
Disney’s new live-action version is for the most part beguilingly good, even though it’s no replacement for the studio’s 1950 animated classic. Full review
Joe Morgenstern·Wall Street Journal
