Cruella (2021)
8/10
Best Disney's live-action to date
8 June 2021
A phenomenal surprise. This is original, creative and humorous. The costume design is just brilliant. This film kinda reminded me of the film, "The Devil Wears Prada", however this is even better and Cruella's character reminded me of Harley Quinn. This is an amazing origin story for Cruella. This is a really good "birth of a villian" kinda film. The writing is really good and the story is original.

Cruella is brilliantly written, acted and portrayed. Emma Stone is just phenomenal, it is imo, Emma Stone's best performance till date. She is a perfect fit for the role. Loved her portrayal of Cruella and also Emma Thompson is really good as well. The blending and chemistry between these two women is so obvious as is the fun they must have both had in performing their respective roles. This was dark, gritty, everything you wouldn't expect from Disney.

The direction is noteworthy. Loved the cinematography in the film and the soundtrack is on point. The costume designs are the best thing in the film. They are beautiful, different and are the feast to the eyes. The setting and the atmosphere of the film is marvellous. Truly enjoyable and entertaining from the beginning till the very end. The young Estella is also brilliant. Dazzling visual feast. The cast is perfect. Everyone in the supporting roles are also good in their respective roles.

Cruella is a surprisingly brilliant and visually captivating film that is sure to be a wild ride for all who wish to see how the renowned puppy killer got her name and fame.

8.5/10.
