Everything is wrong with the Royal Śnieżka 2025 can be summarized in one jacket

I’m glad (?) A terrible party dress snowball Is it actually not the worst costume in the new remake of Disney action in its animated classic from 1937 Śnieżka and Seven Dwarfs. This honor belongs to the outfit worn by Jonathan (Andrew Burnap), a new man who is more like EntangledRider Flynn than like the original Prince Florian movie. For any reason, Jonathan has what I can only describe as a combination of Jean-Jacket-Anda-Hoodie. Sure, he dyes forest green, trying to adapt it to the vibration of the fantasy film, but it does not work at all.

I can’t stop thinking about this combination of Jean-Jacket-Anda-Hoodie, because it really talks about my problems with the film as a whole. Not only is it Snow WhiteThe design of costumes and production diffuse sloppy, but this particular outfit and character are so incompatible with the tone and plot of the film that it undermines everything that can have a place for this. Each character and podplot seems to be brought from a different film. Although each of them has some potential, they work against each other in one tangled film mess.

[Ed. note: This review contains setup spoilers for the 2025 live-action Snow White.]

New Snow White Comes from the director Marc Webba (Amazing Spider-Man), with a script from SecretaryErin Cressida Wilson and music by Erin Dear Evan HansenS Benj Pasek and Justin Paul. Rachel Zegler (West Side StoryIN Ballad of birds and hoses) Stars as Snow White, a perfectly pretty and sweet princess who worked as a maid in the castle, since her evil stepmother (Gal Gadot) became the queen after the disappearance of her father. A short prologue shows us that a long time ago Snow White parents ruled the land, baking apples for ordinary people and dancing with them on the streets. But with a bad queen on the throne people are starving.

Snow White really doesn’t know anything about it until he catches the thief in a bad hoodie (hello, Jonathan) stealing potatoes from the castle pantry. The queen convicts Jonathan to get attached to the gates of the castle, but Snow White releases him from public humiliation. When the magic mirror decrees that the snow surpassed the queen in beautiful, the queen sends the hunter (ansu kabia) to kill the princess. Instead, it allows the Snow White to run to the forest. There he comes across a charming small house where the family of seven amazing CGI dwarfs lives.

In this version of a familiar fairy tale, instead of staying in the house, Snow White insists on leaving not to threaten dwarves. Then she came across Jonathan and his group of cheerful people in the forest. He learns more about what was happening in the Kingdom and realizes that he has to do something about it. Meanwhile, Jonathan is so inspired by his sweet heart and goodness that he decides that he has finished only with theft for himself and his friends, and must take a position. Oh, they also meet with dwarves again.

Adding more charts to Snow White There is not a bad idea by nature – let’s be honest, it’s quite a simplified story. But the problem with Webba’s movie is that nothing seems tonally consistent. Each character comes from a completely different genre and all patchwork works, as if a writer, actor, musicians and costume designers received various notes on the identity of each character.

Gadot behaves as if she was a great bad fantasy movie, but she gave an absurdly campaign song that would do soar If someone with a comedy chop made it at all. It occurs so rigidly and seriously that the darker moments of her characters seem at the verge of being comical at the top, although they never get there. Instead, she is in a strange abyss: the queen never feels a serious figure or comedy. Her costume design is also denied. Her steep stained -glass crown is wonderful and intimidating, but her dresses look like they were made of sequins that change different colors when you rub the hand on grain, and she grows rings that resemble ring cracks.

Meanwhile, Jonathan Burnap is just from the self -aware musical musical from Broadway Circa 2013, with his little anachronistic outfit and bizarre on the side, which he purrs to himself. His great song is called “Problems Princess”, and he is crazy about Snow White for wanting to solve the kingdom’s pressure with the power of apple cakes. His bandit gang has a similar energy that would not be out of place in something intentional anachronistic, like Ella enchanted. But at the moment they are simply shocking out of place with other elements of the film.

Zegler is the only one who behaves as if she was in the Disney Princess movie. It is in a species in which the leading lady has such a clean and real heart that he can get everyone, remembering their name, blinking their big eyes on them and stretching the hand of kindness. This is not a bad thing – 2015 Cinderella and 1997 Made-For-TV Cinderella Similarly, he recalled these honest fairy -tale vibrations with great success.

Although the dwarves look honestly disturbing (yes, Film textures To have He went too far), Zegler’s on the subject of Snow White works best when she is with them. Her great song “I Want” is general, but she sings with such a big heart that I couldn’t resist my sweeping. But when she is wearing a cheap -looking dress with a necklace, which looks like he got off the stand for the sale of Claire and juxtaposed with Snarky Jonathan “Excuse Iprincess“Attitude and regardless of Gadot’s hell, all the strength of her performance is weakened.

This new film Snow White catches a lot of Flak for many different reasons. People were so crazy Zebler (which is half white) is not white enough. People were furious that she said The film from 1937 is dated. People were crazy when Disney said the movie would not include dwarves; People were crazy when he said Disney This would include dwarves. And did we not have enough Remake live? Conceptually, this film was convicted from the very beginning. It will never satisfy everyone because everyone had different idea about what it should be.

But it looks like film creators Also I had no idea what the movie should be. Instead of sticking to one bright vision, the new Snow White has dozens of half -baked ideas could Be good or at least coherent. But they never grow to anything but thin concepts, seemingly attached to the radically different quadrants of the intended audience.

In the prologue, Father Snow White gives her a necklace with the words “fearless, honest, brave, true”. This sentiment may seem sweet if Disney did not pull out the same ” His action live Cinderella (“Have courage and be nice”) and his Mulan redo. (“Loyal, brave and true” – they could not even come up with new adjectives for snow!) The moment is a thin attempt to get the heart into history. AND With a distinctingly awkward chain and default font settings, the necklace does not even look good. Snow White There is to be a story about how more internal beauty is more important than external beauty, but to be honest, this film is not there.

Snow White It opens in cinemas on March 21.
