The evil stepsisters, played by Maddie Baillio and Charlotte Spencer, and Cinderella’s evil stepmother, played by Menzel, were strangely very nice to Cinderella in this adaptation. Though not entirely the fault of the actors, as much of the script was laughably unrealistic, the acting simply was not believable across the board. It’s much like a glorified Todrick Hall music video with slightly worse visual effects.ĭespite its star-studded cast, the acting was quite lousy. Needless to say, it’s jarring seeing people in sad attempts of historically accurate clothing singing and dancing to songs popular 10 to 40 years ago. I also imagine children being very frazzled with this as many of the songs are outdated enough that only parents or grandparents can appreciate them. Since the songs were not made with the film in mind, they seemed out of place and loosely connected with the ongoing plot. One of the most painful attributes of the movie is the inclusion of the covers of popular songs from decades prior. However, many of the other choices made seemed more forced and amateur rather than clever and innovative, which makes it extremely hard for me to classify it as a “good” movie either. I refuse to write it off as a “bad” movie due to its occasional fun moments, a strong diverse cast and a unique message and twists. “Cinderella,” released on Amazon Prime Video on Sept.
