Tre noci per Cenerentola

I'm surprised how some "critics" who are not very objective dare to rate this film with a 1 or a 2. A film is rated by its everything, including acting, photography, set design, music, plot, script, genre and of course if we like it or not. Everything adds up, and he is not only absurdly punished for some subjective aspect. This film, although it does not deserve a 10, has a beautiful photography, a valuable mise-en-scène and a light but connected plot. The special effects are also well set and just right for the type of film. It is also enjoyable and entertaining for the whole family and is a different version of the Cinderella story. I give it a 7.

There were only two things that I liked about this movie: the landscape and the horses.

But this does not save an otherwise soulless movie.

This is probably what you get when diversity and political correctness take precedence over acting skills and a decent script.

This entire movie is nothing but a sorry effort of a remake.

I generally don't make reviews, but could not resist, because I like practically all the "cinderrella" variations out there. Including the Czech one.

90% of the dialogue and action is from the Czech version. All they attempted was to reshoot the old lines in a fresh way in fresh costumes in Norwegian surroundings. That's fine, I have no problem with that.

The problem is that the only actor able to deliver lines was Alfred. Even though that actor is a veteran, he was still struggling to do so in a way that conveyed a believable character. All the other characters were embarrassingly bad. Not a singel line had emotions or depth behind it. They were spoken as if they had not seen the script before, yet alone the old movie.

I cannot believe all the actors are that bad. So it has to boil down to the director. - A lack of experience from beginning to end.

There is no excuse for having an inexperienced bad director do this job, they knew it would sell well and they would turn a profit. So how could this happen? I really would like to know the decision making process behind it.

Lots of other bad stuff, like the reade music. Was the old music copyrighted? Remaking similar tunes was a horrible idea.. But all that is nothing compared to the delivery of the lines, the acting and theatre editing. Awful awful stuff.

2 stars for the horses and nature.

Unfortunately this movie adds nothing to the original except a few forced modern additions like a kiss between two men and an black and white moral which turns out to not really be that modern or feminist after all. Imagine managing to make the 2021 female character less feminist than the original while trying to do the opposite? Little to no character development, bland soundtrack and costumes, the humor from the original is nowhere to be found.

The movie is despite this overall probably an enjoyable movie for kids.

What a mess, the prince' best buddies kissing, Cinderella and prince not kissing. Prince adopted or mommy Queen had an affair..? Prince looks nothing like his parents and I find it hard to believe they raised such a moron. Cinderella and prince seemed to have nothing in common except horse racing. Nice horses and nice scenery, and the cruel stepmother (Ellen D. P) did a good job.
