CINDERELLA

The fairytale fantasy with a modern twist

This new musical take on the fairy tale comes from Kay Cannon, who wrote the Pitch Perfect series. Cinderella (Camila Cabello, below) dreams of becoming a designer and making her own money, a notion scorned by her stepmother and stepsisters. Singersongwriter Cabello is an assured screen presence in her acting debut but the film never sparks. The gags aren’t quite funny enough and the modern twists – Billy Porter as a non-binary ‘fabulous godmother’, for example – don’t add much.
