Tre noci per Cenerentola

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.

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.

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.

No pun intended - and quite obvious from the beginning. Yes we do get the classical story (which I assume you are aware of, but will not go into details just in case), but our main character (heroine) is not sitting idly when we first meet her. She also is not doing chores. No she tries to get back to where she is supposed to be, without being noticed (caught).

So yes, this version is a bit of an update. Do not think that this is "woke" though - it is always nice to have some extra spins on things. To get a bit of difference to other versions that exist. Acting wise this is fine - for what it is of course. Keep that in mind and be the judge if the movie is something you want to watch anyway.

I found this to be a alright adaptation of the story and adds little new with it. The story is your standard Cinderella version with a couple of differences to it. I do like how active Cinderella is with her horseback riding and knowing how to a bow. But it felt the movie could have given more development to her because she lacks any development and isn't that interesting. Even the romance between her and the prince isn't fully flesh out and doesn't have a chemistry between them. Speaking of the prince, he's pretty bland with little to offer of him and plays the standard prince you see in any adaptation. As for the stepmother, she mostly plays the typical stepmother you see in any adaptation and adds nothing to her. One thing that is different is that there's no fairy godmother in the adaptation, which is fine because it try something new with the source material. But how Cinderella got her wishes feels like a plot connivence when it happened.

One big positive is that the location and cinematography looks beautiful and amazing on the job the filmmakers put into the movie. It really looks gorgeous with it being in a snowy environment that gives some atmosphere to the movie and the different shots it presented here. Even the set design looks great inside current location of the movie like the castle looks great. I also like the music and dance sequence the movie presented since it executed pretty well.

The three wishes I wish to improve is to give the characters more development to them, have a better chemistry between Cinderella and the prince, and have the movie build with its new ideas.
