Disney's Snow White

the jumble of tones and styles laid atop this basic narrative feels like it’s trying to please everyone and ends up pleasing no one.

In terms of just a movie -- that I saw with a bunch of children -- the kids love the movie, and the adults just might want to step back.

A mishmash and a mess of stuff.

Rachel Zegler gives it her very very best shot, and she nearly saves it...

It’s at its best when it’s an old-fashioned song-and-dance princess story, with Zegler and Gadot broad but effective, and at its worst in any scene involving the digital dwarves.

This Snow White, emerging in an era of government-sanctioned cruelty, seems to know exactly what it’s saying, even if it chooses to speak only in a discreet whisper. It’s the right Snow White for this moment.

Rachel Zegler is the best part of the live-action remake. Gal Gadot is a bit stiff, and the songs are hit-and-miss. The movie looks spectacular and is best suited for families with young kids.

The new songs are unmemorable and one of them is outright awful (Princess Problems).

Somewhere between the animated version and the true life version the Disney magic was lost.

This remake, which admittedly has its own problems, improves on some of the issues in the original, mostly by making its main characters actual characters with depth and emotion and all the things that make them engaging and interesting.
