Cinderella (out Mar 26) is colourfully shot, has some great dialogue, and its themes come through loud and clear. Above all else, the best reason I can give to see this film is Cate Blanchett. She’s incredibly good as the evil stepmother. It's just a shame the premise is somewhat “out dated”. I'd have preferred the title character to have a little more spark. Grade: B+.
