Best Version of Cinderella

Reviewed in the United States on June 24, 2017

Verified Purchase

This is one of my favorite versions of Cinderella, besides from the Disney cartoon version (I did NOT like the recent Disney live-action version). In this Cinderella, she's much more than just some poor girl that needs to be rescued, she's a strong independent woman. This is the ideal version of Cinderella if you want little girls to believe in themselves - she wasn't rescued by anyone, even in the end, she escaped on her own after being sold; and there are no magic or fairy godmothers, which sets a more believable tone to accomplishments and dreams come true.

Ingenious and thrilling to watch

Reviewed in the United States on March 2, 2019

This is a witty and totally satisfying reimagining of Cinderella, inserting the fictional character into a bit of additionally adjusted history in 16th century France. Danielle (Cinderella) is a fearless, passionate, quick-thinking, and intelligent young woman, who saves several people, including the prince, and, in the end, herself. Her relationship with the prince is built on intellectual sparring and open-mindedness that make you cheer for them throughout. Drew Barrymore and Dougray Scott are thrilling as the title couple, Anjelica Huston is exquisite as the venomous step-mother. Melanie Lynskey and Megan Dodds are compelling as the good (yes, that's a switch) and evil step-sisters, and Timothy West and Judy Parfitt are compulsively watchable as the unhappily, but well-, matched king and queen. Every secondary character, not least Patrick Godfrey as Leonardo, makes the movie soar and makes me want to watch it again and again.

One of the Best Movies of All Time

Reviewed in the United States on January 6, 2018

Verified Purchase

I remember when this movie first came out in theaters. I fell in love with it the first time I watched it. I ended up going back to the theater at least six times to see it again. I have never done that before or after for any movie that has come out. There is something so special about the chemistry of the Prince and Cinderella. I love how they made the story so realistic so I can day dream of meeting someone like that too one day. The witty banter that goes back and forth between the two main characters is so intelligent and I never get tired of hearing it. Cinderella saves the Prince from a lifetime of nothingness and superficiality. He saves her with his love too. They have true love for each other. It is such a beautiful movie, and Drew Barrymore is perfect as Cinderella. I can honestly say that no one else could play this role the way she did. She has an innocent charm that really gets into your heart. She makes me want to be a better person after watching how she passionately lives life no matter what the circumstances. She never pursued the Prince for ambitious reasons and actually found him arrogant, but he wins her over by making changes himself that are influenced by her and she truly falls in love with him. This has got to be my favorite movie of all time.

Best version of Cinderella, hands down

Reviewed in the United States on October 8, 2020

Verified Purchase

I saw this as a child when it first came out, and it's been one of my favorite movies ever since. A movie I can watch over and over again (which I have due to quarantine) and it never gets old. How can it? A grounded, realistic, and beautiful retelling of a fairytale with a STELLAR cast- that includes the handsome Dougray Scott. I'm obsessed with their love story and chemistry. I also love that Cinderella is a strong woman before it ever became a "thing" these days in Hollywood. She didn't really need him to rescue her, but she did need him to find love and to love herself. Every actor was made for their part, but I can't get enough of Dougray. He was just PERFECT for Prince Henry and really want to see him in more leading man roles again! He brought complexity to a character that was barely there in the original fairytale. You saw him transform and go through a journey, while still being flawed and learning from it. Amazing retelling, and an amazing dress! It was all matched with an exceptional score that I listen to all the time. I wish I could forget the movie each time I watch it so I can rewatch it for the first time all over again. I'm much older now, and still can't get enough of it.

Drew Cinderella Barrymore

Reviewed in the United States on September 19, 2017

Verified Purchase

This film with Drew Barrymore is the best retelling of Cinderella Ive ever seen. It tells the story of Cinderella but in a whole different way for instance one of the step-sisters was not wicked. One of the best scenes-besides when the prince went after her to apolagize for his actions at the ball and propose to her-was when Danielle-the Cinderella in the story played by Drew Barrymore-punched the wicked sister for telling her her real mom was dead and having her fall over the bed. This is a good movie. You should get it.

Disappointed

Reviewed in the United States on August 2, 2020

I really enjoy this movie- so this review is not about the movie- the product however , is not clearly Stated that the region the blu-ray disk comes from does not play in my US blu ray player or the PlayStation where I normally watch blu rays. So disappointing! Plus, when I went to return it- it says that I have to contact the royal post and pay a return shipping fee?! In the end- not clearly labeled and such a haste and loss of money for this product.

This is one of my favorite movies. I showed it to my teenage daughter now it is her favorite movie too. I love the girl power it shows. Drew Barrymore is a great choice for this role because her acting style brings such a real feeling of human complexity that shows a girl she doesn’t have to be perfect to be powerful, confident and worthy of great love and respect.

mix of straight and farce,

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 31, 2020

Verified Purchase

A mix of naif and mock intelligensia. Some odd accents as well. There are rich production values, good dialogue and intelligent narration mixed with clumsy and exaggerated scripting. The all star cast carry over some rough patches.

A nice DVD all in all but so much jarring that it will never go into the annals as a classic.

One to Rent but not to Buy

I was recommended this movie by my old boss. She handed me a copy and said "it's very you" - and how right she was! My favorite thing was - until nearer the end - the idea of taking a fairy tale and making it less fantasy more "historically accurate". It meant amazing houses and costumes and dialog that felt more realistic and magical in a different way then we are use to. The only thing I don't like about this film - is that it is too unique and left me wishing more fairy tales had been covered in this way!

Enchanting.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 14, 2012

Verified Purchase

Firstly, I love this film. Secondly, Dougray Scott is a good looking guy! Anyway, I saw this on Channel 4 a few weeks ago, but I only managed to catch the end of it, I was enchanted by it. I loved the whole idea of it being a story, inside a story. Set in the 16th Century, in France, it captures the life of Danielle (Barrymore) who's father died when she was eight years old. Danielle now acts as a servant for her evil stepmother, and stepsisters (only one of them is a truly hideous character) however, one day she stumbles across the Prince of France, who is instantly mesmerised by her(I think you can see where this is going). When Danielle goes to rescue one of her fellow servants from being sold to pay her stepmother's debts, her strong moral views lead the Prince to want to more about her. Here starts Danielle's adventure, unbeknownst to her stepmother and sisters. However, Danielle's lack of social standing forces her to use her mothers name (Nicole - Countess De La Creole) and title to win the Prince over. When her secret is revealed, both Danielle and Henry are left heartbroken. However, Danielle drops something - a glass slipper. Tired of her schemes, Danielle's stepmother - the Baroness - trades her for the furniture that had been taken for debt. This leads to Henry realising his love for Danielle and rescuing her. Which then leads to marriage of course. And they live happily ever after - although the fact is that they didn't just live happily ever after - they lived.

This is a beautiful film, with the classic twist of the story of Cinderella by the Brothers Grimm. However, the way in which the story is told sets this off beautifully. Though set in the 16th Century, the language is easy to understand, and the scenery is wonderful in some parts of the film. They also manage to inject some humour into the film! You'll be rooting for Danielle to get the happy ending she deserves all the way through the movie! It left me truly enchanted.

Amazing love story

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 13, 2014

Verified Purchase

For me this is a fantastic film, it is a wonderful story that keeps to the basic story of Cinderella but with differences that make it more realistic rather than just a fairy-tale. The characters are wonderful and the actors/actresses are perfect in the parts they play. This is one of my favourite romantic films. It is funny and sad in parts but of course with a happy ending.
I've lost count on how many times I’ve watched it, it is a perfect feel-good film
Highly recommended for anyone who likes fairy tales!
