Review of Cinderella (2013) by Charlie H — 17 Feb 2018

They're all looking at you..

Cinderella.

They had their chance to excel at creating fine details and utilize them well, just as Disney does but this one was a complete swing and a miss. Cinderella, obviously has a good concept and storyline with enough material to feed the audience for around 100 minutes which was ruined by loose writing and direction on petty and childish things and rely completely on the actor's performance for the character development which shows the lack of responsibility behind the stage. Kenneth Branagh seems distracted as always for he focuses on his younger audience and leaves out witty and complex things that he could have easily approached for. The lead cast is not capable to carry on herself a scene let along the whole movie resulting into weak performances no matter how hard the supporting cast may try, it just wouldn't factor in. Cinderella lacks a better caretaker, smart writing, a good performance and acting skills to make it up to the major league.
