Cruella [Blu-ray]

my b/f was sure this was NOT a movie hed want to see. preconceived notions, ya know? and then, wow, the movie hit him all across the board. excellent sound track, excellent acting, excellent storyline, excellent sets and scenes. cannot think of one thing that was not superb. as the movie continued to astound us, we slowly began to realize that oh yeah, that character WAS IN the original animated movie. oh yeah, there was a van like this in it, too! i feel like this movie checked off all the boxes that elevate a film to art. this was it and for a person who never watches the same film twice, im watching this one again and again. its a pleasure.

From Disney+, Emma Stone stars in Disneys Cruella, which explores the rebellious early days of one of cinemas most notorious - and notoriously fashionable - villains, Cruella de Vil...The movie follows a young grifter named Estella and reveals the series of events that cause her to embrace her wicked side and become the raucous and revenge-bent Cruella. The movie co-stars Emma Thompson, Joel Fry, Paul Walter Hauser, Emily Beecham, and Kirby Howell-Baptiste. It is directed by Craig Gillespie (I, Tonya). Based on the book by Dodie Smith and Disney classic by Bill Peet, the winding road of events that change Estella was plotted out by Aline Brosch McKenna, and Kelly Marcel & Steve Zissis, and it was transformed into a script by Dana Fox and Tony McNamara. After watching the movie, that mustve been a journey in its own right.

SPOILER ALERT!!!

It was a blast! Thoroughly enjoyed the movie!! 5 stars.

It had almost nothing to do with the 101 Dalmations. But it was fun to watch.

It kept my attention

Great movie related to the ongoing story related to the 101 Dalmatians.

I didnt know what to think about this movie when I saw the preview but I found the movie a great rendition and absolutely loved it!

This movie was one crappy movie. Don’t bother.

Excellent actors and kept our attention but too dark of a film for Disney. Mirrored The Devil Wears Prada. Advised friends that this was not a good one for a the kids. Disney exists to …”inspire people.” Our take away: felt inspired to always choose my dark mean side?
