Christy Lemire RogerEbert.com The erotic thriller "Trap for Cinderella" is neither erotic nor thrilling, but rather reliant on cheap nudity and multiple mistaken-identity switcheroos in hopes of keeping us on edge. Rated: 1/4 Dec 13, 2013 Full Review Drew Hunt Slant Magazine Ian Softley is far too interested in the minutia of the plot to bother with the Chabrolian elements of bourgeois excess or the Hitchcockian themes of mistaken identity. Rated: 1/4 Dec 9, 2013 Full Review Charlotte O'Sullivan London Evening Standard Softley is a great director but has maybe let his own obsession - with Sebastien Japrisot's 1962 novel - blind him to the essential lameness of the project. Someone lend this man a good book. Rated: 2/5 Jul 12, 2013 Full Review Jason Best Movie Talk The plot is ludicrously far-fetched, but despite some plodding dialogue, committed performances from leads Tuppence Middleton and Alexandra Roach make this tale of jealousy and betrayal a heady treat. Jan 19, 2014 Full Review Alexander Lowe We Got This Covered Despite some strong performances and an interesting style, there are just too many holes in the story, keeping Trap For Cinderella from being a completely compelling thriller. Rated: 5/10 Dec 13, 2013 Full Review Avi Offer NYC Movie Guru Initially intriguing, but essentially a forgettable B-movie that's more exhausting and frustrating than fun or suspenseful. Rated: 5.3/10 Dec 13, 2013 Full Review Read all reviews

Mr P It's poor, really poor. Highlight : The ludicrously named and mostly talentless Tuppence Middleton exposes her nipples on regular occasions. Lowlight : The soundtrack is literally appalling. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 11/16/24 Full Review Audience Member I really enjoyed this movie. Interesting twist at the end! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member 2 1/2 ud af 5 plastiske operationer. Japrisots klassiker bygger på et dobbelt plottwist, der er for simpelt til en hel spillefilm. En tyve minutters tv-ting havde nok været bedre. Men det er da okay at få lov til at kigge på Tuppence Middleton med og uden kluns i 1 1/2 time. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member if it wasnt for how boring the begging was this could a have been a fantastic movie because of all the twists at the end however there is only so much a good ending can do Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Trap for Cinderella is a interesting, dramatic, but confusing film about child hood friends reconnecting after years. Problems come and go and it switches through past and present (which makes it more confusing). Identity switch over and over again in the plot making it become more confusing and confusing by the minute. The plot is confusing, the problem is confusing and even the title if confusing. How if this related to Cinderella? On the other hand, this movie has great casting and a great setting. I suggest this to people who wants a interesting, and dramatic movie but has time to go back and rewind a couple times to understand the plot. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member One line summary: Fraud, deceit, and bullying aplenty; good story telling, not so much. ------------------- Mickey and Domenica meet each other after a number of years. Do is a bank employee; Mickey is a photographer who lives as if she were rich. Do quits her job, and they get to know each other somewhat. They decide to get together at a house where they had common experiences as children. There is a terrible fire. One of them is killed, and the other gets amnesia and burns on her face. As 'Mickey' recovers her memory, and recovers from reconstructive surgery, we switch to flashbacks of when the two had just met each other again. Then there are further flashbacks to the estate where there was a near drowning incident when Do and Mickey were pre-teens. Mickey was blamed for this and a subsequent event that was at least as bad. They do not see each other for years, partly at Do's family's insistence. In the depths of these flashbacks, a plot is hatched. Will it succeed? -----Scores----- Cinematography: 7/10 Mostly good, parts excellent, but sometimes in shaky camera mode, which looked horrid. Sound: 3/10 Bad sound leveling. Acting: 2/10 There was acting? The characters were repellant, but not engaging. I hoped the trap would spring on Cinderella so that the film would end. Screenplay: 4/10 Neither the pacing nor the labyrinth of flashbacks and reinterpretations were engaging. I had a strong hope that all the main characters would be terminated with extreme prejudice.
