Movie Reviews
The Vidiot Reviews....
Cinderella
The worst thing Cinderella's story ever did was convince girls that they could wear glass on their feet.
Thankfully, as this fantasy movie confirms, glass slippers are not easy to come by.
After her mother's death, Ella's (Lily James) father remarries Lady Tremaine (Cate Blanchett), who has two daughters (Holliday Grainger, Sophie McShera), both as wicked as their mother.
When her father passes, Ella's rechristened Cinderella, and sent to live in the attic.
When the Grand Duke (Stellan Skarsgård) announces a royal ball, everyone but Cinderella gets to go. That is until her fairy godmother uses magic to help her attract the eye of the Duke's son.
Well cast and wonderfully acted, with stunning visual effects and a clever script, director Kenneth Branagh delivers a faithful adaption of the animated Disney movie.
Furthermore, once you're done with the carriage, you can enter it in this year's giant pumpkin boat regatta.
