Critic reviews
The underlying property emerges untarnished, as director Kenneth Branagh reverently reimagines Charles Perraults fairy tale for a new generation the world over.

For all its gossamer, gauze, filigree and refinement, “Cinderella” drags when it should skip as lightly as its title character when she’s late getting home from the ball.

Fascinatingly, much remains the same, including a fairy tale that opens with clear skies but soon plays the poor-little-girl blues before you-know-who comes along.
Manohla Dargis·New York Times
Cinderella plays it overly-safe in transitioning from cartoon-to-live-action but is sure to entertain Disney's go-to juice box crowd.
