White as Snow

While watching this, I kept thinking "wow, are they all ugly, etc.", and figured they must be setting up a handsome Prince Charming character. Nope. So I guess the point she was liberated, and didn't need a prince charming. When you're telling a tale of a liberated woman making conquest, and she's very attractive, you'd think that here conquest would be more than the homely, the awkward, the old. If you're trying to make it look like she's appealing to ALL men, then you need a better group. Add if they really wanted to update it, why are all the "dwarves" men anyway? Even with better casting of the "dwarves", this wouldn't have been a great movie. However, there was enough, with this lead actress and a bit better script, to make this an entertaining spin of the classic (for adults only). The one standout is the still attractive Isabelle Huppert. Her turn as the evil Stepmother (evil Queen) is the highlight of the film.

A liked the scenery and the story. At the end, Claire lays all in white... is she dead?

A nice girl is jogging on a city bridge in daylight when a car stops in front of her & someone gets out & grabs her & stuffs her in their trunk. Dumb & not believable; furthering the far fetched she is driven to some mysterious remote area where she escapes & as always despite being a good runner while quickly escaping through remote woods the abductor still finds her & then confusingly & unexplained someone shoots the abductor & then somehow takes the escaped girl into a remote house where for some unexplained reason she suddenly wants to stay. Later, gets tossed over a cliff from a moving car, but ends up in a hospital with no marks & still perfect makeup. Dead or alive who cares!

Remembering the first runs of masterpieces from the likes of Cocteau, Buñuel, and Polanski, I welcome seeing their Surrealist tradition carried on. Perhaps younger audiences sense this film offending against wokeness somehow., and won't grant themselves permission to like it. (It does call to mind a famous 1995 * version of Snow White.) This droll send-up does not disappoint at all.
