Kevin says SNOW WHITE ROCKS!
After months of a ballooning budget, political controversies, and off-set drama, SNOW WHITE is in theaters, and it’s a film that – for better or for worse – will turn heads.
The latest Disney live-action remake takes a new perspective on the Mouse House’s first full-length animated film.
Rachel Zegler stars as the title character, a princess reduced to scullery maid by her evil step-mother. After being abandoned in the forest, she meets seven dwarfs who help her try to win back her kingdom.
Director Marc Webb walks a tightrope with this film, keeping true to the imagery and flavor of the original while filling in the gaps to tell a full story. After all we have to admit the 1937 version has only about 20 minutes of story, no real character development, and moments that don’t quite hold up 88 years later.
A lot is added, but it doesn’t feel bloated like BEAUTY AND THE BEAST or THE LITTLE MERMAID. With a fantastic performance by Zegler and a great look – though admittedly clunky presentation – by Gal Gadot, this new Snow White is remarkably bright, entertaining and fun.
SNOW WHITE gets four apples out of five. I’m Kevin Carr, and that’s the way I see it.
