Great, Grimm Re-Telling
Review created: 02/05/08(updated 02/17/08)
My husband and I loved this movie. Anyone's who's read a Grimm Brothers tale can tell you they are, well...grim. Those who appreciate authenticity will find it nice to see nary a hint of Disney in this version which takes a fresh look at the classic story of Ms. White, while still keeping with the fiendish facets of the original. Weaver is excellent as a surprisingly sympathetic stepmother before her alliance with the dark side, and prince charming is made accessibly ordinary. The female characters shine - score one for the feminists - while guys will like the gore. The scenery and cinematography is also impressively Grimm-esque.
