Cruella 2021

Excellent film, very entertaining and very entertaining for young audiences. It is the best of Disney's live action films. The anti-heroine vs. villain plot is a successful formula that I hope they continue to use in future remakes. They knew how to give a very good plot twist to the story. They reinvented the villain in the best possible way. Emma Stone's quality and histrionics are brilliant, as always, she was born for the role. You can tell she let herself go and was enjoying herself as she channelled Cruella's evil and madness. Powerful performance. While the characterisations are very cartoonish, they fit well within the Disney aesthetic we're used to, we don't really want a realistic film, we want to have a good time. Costume design worthy of an Oscar nomination, the visual quality is TREMENDOUS, what a beauty of costumes. I really liked Estella's relationship with Jasper and Horace, the actors vindicated these henchmen, and made them more than comic relief. They are frankly ADORABLE .They went from being silly minions with no emotional weight to being Cruella's family, that relationship is cute and works really well in the plot.

The 80's punk-rocker aesthetic fits like a glove to Cruella's anarchic and revolutionary personality. Her smokey eye, red lips and the use of leather in her clothes is a fantastic success. It is a visual spectacle.

It's definitely a good popcorn movie.
It will take you out of your reality of tedium and boredom for a couple of hours and I swear it will make you enjoy from the first minutes to the last. The post-credits scene leaves you longing for a sequel, because Cruella's story still has a lot of ground to cover and there's still a lot left to tell from the original story. In conclusion, you can't demand more from this film.
