The best Disney live-action remake in a decade (not that that’s a particularly high bar to clear), Snow White adapts the broad strokes of the 1937 original, while fleshing out its themes of kindness. Rachel Zegler crafts a remarkable, melodic version of the classic princess who leads with her heart, even if her CGI co-stars are difficult on the eyes.
Snow White is supposed to be a story about how inner beauty is more important than outer beauty, but honestly, this movie has neither.
This fudged, pseudo-progressive approach is so tiring you’ll want to put your head in your hands.
What’s most disheartening about it all is how predictable Disney’s choices have become. With Snow White, they’ve finessed their formula – do the bare minimum to make a film, then simply slap a bunch of cutesy CGI animals all over it and hope no one notices.
Rachel Zegler stars in the lead role of Snow White. Gal Gadot takes on the role of the Evil Queen. The film is directed by Marc Webb, known for movies like The Amazing Spider-Man and The Amazing Spider-Man 2.
