Cinderella

What they share

Theysit in Drama / Fantasy / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to Ruby Sparks, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Cinderella is

English countryside, spring, birds chirping. A fairy godmother appears, a pumpkin transforms, a ball awaits. Branagh's traditional take still charms at family viewing time.
