Snow White (PG) Film Review from LondonNet
Rachel Zegler whistles while she works in an enchanting live-action reimagining of Disney’s 1937 animated fantasy based on the tangled tale spun by the Brothers Grimm. Screenwriter Erin Cressida Wilson adheres to core narrative elements of the animated incarnation including a sycophantic magic mirror, the fateful bite of a poisoned apple and wickedness undone by true love’s kiss. In other respects, director Marc Webb’s Snow White hitches a royal carriage to modern sensibilities and political correctness, empowering another Disney princess to become the architect of her destiny and redefining Bashful, Doc, Dopey, Grumpy, Happy, Sleepy and Sneezy as magical creatures. There is no charming paramour on a steed – the romantic interest is a forest-dwelling bandit, who mocks the idea of Snow White waiting for a dashing prince to ride to the rescue when she can affect change if she will only “stop thinking, start doing”…
Heigh-Ho and Whistle While You Work have been upcycled to complement barnstorming new songs courtesy of The Greatest Showman’s ringmasters Benj Pasek and Justin Paul and their collaborators. The lyrical gymnastics are impressive. Snow White’s soaring anthem Waiting On A Wish, a response to I’m Wishing in 1937, incites the self-reflection, “Will she rise or bow her head?/Will she lead or just be led?” The Evil Queen’s slinky solo All Is Fair whoops, “Ambitious girls must be vicious girls/And, boy, they have fun!”
Fun is bountiful except for the seven motion-captured miners, whose digitally rendered countenances a la Gollum from Lord Of The Rings jar awkwardly with gargantuan physical sets and lavish costumes. Flesh and blood actors should have given the communal cottage-dwellers the Heave-Ho.
Snow White (Zegler) is raised to be fearless, fair, brave and true by her benevolent parents (Hadley Fraser, Lorena Andrea). The Good Queen dies and a scheming enchantress (Gal Gadot) replaces her on the throne, using intimidation to bully subjects into submission. When the Magic Mirror (voiced by Patrick Page) decrees Snow White to be the fairest of them all, the stepmother plots filicide by the blade of a Huntsman (Ansu Kabia) and the princess tumbles into the forest home of spirited rebel Jonathan (Andrew Burnap) and his merry band.
Putting aside the widely publicised disagreements that have scorched Snow White’s live action refurbishment, Webb’s musical fantasia is a visually sumptuous waltz through wholesome fairy tale tropes. The stirring choral chant of Good Things Grow might be sonically adjacent to This Is Me but Zegler wrings every droplet of tremulous emotion from her rendition. Gadot’s psychotically vain tyrant could be more murderous and menacing without compromising the family-friendly film classification but her sustained downfall is dramatically satisfying compared to a fortuitous lightning strike. Beneath storm clouds of controversy, there are soothing rays of sunshine.
