Cruella (2021)
Directed by: Craig Gillespie
Origin stories can be tricky. It either serves as a good backbone to understand the character or it loses you completely. In this case, I was pleasantly surprised.
Before the fashion and before the spots there was a young woman on the outside looking in. There was an insatiable appetite for something more and who could honestly blame her! She felt she was destined for something big something bold. Will Cruella flop or be the next "it" girl?
I overall loved the mod aesthetic and that soundtrack is fantastic!! The story gives us insight to Cruella. I loved that we not only heard her story but the other two baddies. I appreciated the overall vibe of growing with the characters. For me, pacing wasn't the issue, there just felt like something was missing for me to give it a higher score. I definitely would recommend this to anyone interested. Go into it, as something new and bold. 🧤👗Très Chic!! 8.3/10
