At first, I was not necessarily convinced that a Cinderella live action film would be interesting but Kenneth Branagh at the director's chair & Cate Blanchett as the stepmother made me rethink my position. The project became less of a silly little film with these two on board.
Cinderella was a beautiful film, very tasteful, colorful, touching and classy. It's a very different Cinderella but it had the spirit of the animated film. The stepmother, Cinderella herself, and the prince were different, they had more substance, they multidimensional and that's mostly true for the stepmother and the prince.
The ensemble cast really elevated the film, they embodied the characters we came to know and love but portrayed them in quite a unique way.
Really enjoyed it - Lily James is my new favourite Brit!
