This movie digs down deep into dream logic. Characters make bizarre choices, the stakes go from 0-60 in no time flat. And the tone! It moves from Rom-com to "After Hours" dark humour to serious dread. I saw this with an audience and we had strong vocal reactions to the movie's "convenient" contrivances. (Denise Crosby seems to be dropped in from another movie to deliver high powered info and to get the plot moving. What is she doing in this diner at 4am?) Follow up question: Why is the 24hour gym having aerobics classes at 4:45 am? I must admit, though, I wasn't bored. The movie doubled down on the premise and steered into the crazy. I think it's going to stick with me.

Cinderella
(I) (2021)
On the other hand
12 September 2021
I found this movie delightful. The fact that it differed from other versions of Cinderella was actually fun. The singing was great. The Step Mother and sisters had more dimensions than normal. Cinderella actually made decisions for herself. It was also very funny. Go back and see one of the other versions if you like. This was just what I needed to see today.
