Below is my review of this beautiful film...

Ella and the Giant Ballgown 

Our most beloved fairytale gets an enchanting reboot this year; a new generation can experience the captivating magic of Cinderella. Although primarily a love story, family is really at the core of this story.

Sweet Ella (Lily James) has her world turned upside down when her father dies unexpectedly leaving her in the hands of her jealous, yet seriously glamorous, stepmother Lady Tremaine (Cate Blanchett). You'll meet Prince Charming aka Kit (Richard Madden) who's eyes will have you entranced and truly believing in love at first sight. More depth and background has gone into all the characters, which makes them more believable, and the casting was spot on.

You'll be dazzled by the jaw-dropping costumes which make a gypsy brides wedding gown look understated in comparison. The arrival of The Fairy Godmother sees Helena Bonham Carter wielding a wand once again and spraying the film in a haze of glitter and hope. 

The grand ball is a sensory overload, a beautiful set and vibrant colours. Brides-to-be will be incorporating the first dance scene into their future weddings for years to come - move over Dirty Dancing there's a new cringe viewing dance in town.

The message of the film is to 'have courage and be kind', a refreshing addition to this classic tale and a sweet message for all. Take your mum, your sisters, your daughters, all your Disney loving friends to see the magic unfold on the big screen at Vue Cinemas this spring.
