By Justin Chang (1,535) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 26 May 2021

Review of Cruella (2021)

By Clint Worthington (295) for Consequence (296) on 26 May 2021

Stone, Thompson, and the gang are all having a ball wearing incredible costumes and living up a squeaky-clean version of ’70s punk fabulousness,…

Review of Cruella (2021)

By Barry Hertz (792) for The Globe and Mail (Toronto) (4,018) on 26 May 2021

Review of Cruella (2021)

By Mike Scott (1,178) for New Orleans Times-Picayune (573) on 26 May 2021

But the way [Stone] elevates things in Cruella, taking what is a mediocre, fairly formulaic script and making it sing — making us eager for…

Review of Cruella (2021)

By Mark Feeney (434) for Boston Globe (6,852) on 26 May 2021

Kohl-eyed and in command, she vamps, she camps, she stamps — and not just her foot…

By A.o. Scott (2,100) for The New York Times (9,847) on 26 May 2021

This revisionist supervillain origin story, directed by Craig Gillespie (“I, Tonya”), doesn’t offer much that is genuinely new, but it…

Review of Cruella (2021)

By K. Austin Collins (343) for Rolling Stone (4,035) on 26 May 2021

Cruella is never more galvanizing than its petty tit-for-tat and power wrangling…

Review of Cruella (2021)

By Scott Campbell (94) for We Got This Covered (2,391) on 26 May 2021

Cruella isn’t perfect by any means, but it’s an altogether different kind of Disney blockbuster that pivots from origin story to heist…

Review of Cruella (2021)

By Phil De Semlyen (265) for Time Out (7,510) on 26 May 2021

Ultimately, Cruella ends up feeling like a film torn between being daring and sticking to convention: a helium balloon that keeps getting dragged…

Review of Cruella (2021)

By Karen Han (178) for Slate (2,081) on 26 May 2021

All in all, Cruella is much better than it needs to be, and is hampered primarily by the fact that it’s a Disney movie, both in the sense…

Review of Cruella (2021)

By Ann Hornaday (1,919) for Washington Post (9,851) on 26 May 2021

Whatever good intentions were brought to bear in Cruella are lost in an overlong, awkwardly shaped mash-up of coming-of-age drama, caper flick,…

Review of Cruella (2021)

By Matt Singer (625) for ScreenCrush (954) on 26 May 2021
