Rem K @RT06613472 5d This was an amazing take on the og fairytale. I loved all the actors, they were so expressive and felt so human, which is so refreshing to me nowadays. The stepmother seemingly having had genuine feelings for her father was such a nice thing to add because it makes her feel more human compared to a basic fairytale villain, but it also doesn't excuse or try to explain why she's evil either. She's allowed both depth and genuine cruelty. I was a bit confused about how she was not considered a noble in rank even if she wasn't treated like one, would have loved that explained a bit, but honestly, that being the one flaw I ever notice is so small. I love the multiple lessons this actually has, for example, she challenges his views of people he's stereotyped, surprised me since this movie is fairly old! Then there are also lessons about forced love and genuine love, you get to understand both sides when the Prince feels betrayed and lashes out. This movie has made anyone I watch it with cry.

Barrymore carried off her part so well as did the actor playing the Prince. They worked so well today. The dialogue was witty and intelligent. One surprise was Melanie Lynskey. Although she was in the background as the second step sister, she played her part so well as you see her personality emerge throughout the film. If you've never seen it do. If you have, see it again!

Laced with wholesome scenes, a sharp script, witty humor, and stunning performances (most notably from Anjelica Huston and Megan Dodds, and Drew Barrymore), Ever After is a childhood favorite of mine, and I have seen it easily over a hundred times. It is an emotional, entertaining, and enchanting romance that I would recommend to anyone and everyone, especially fans of Cinderella and romance. Personally, I love how the fantastical elements were removed from the story in this film, as it humanized the story and gave it a realistic touch. I also liked the historical incorporation of Leonardo da Vinci. It is a beautiful twist to an already beautiful story. Thank you for reading my review! God bless you. See more Henry D @Henry_Domke May 31 Simplistic and very sweet, conventional to a fault. Despite the high production values, it doesn’t hold up visually almost 30 years later. It’s crying out to be remastered. The skin tones looked monochromatic, and the costumes, hair, and jewelry did not show enough fine detail. Even though it was streaming in 4K, the image never really sparkled the way it should have. See more Read all reviews
