  Review by Sally Jane Black 5

  For a film about class differences and injustices and some sort of soft feminism thing, this sure is casual with the racial slurs for Romani people. I could analyze the fuck out of everything going on with the classism here, but mostly I just don't get why Danielle wasn't a noble if her father was one. I am sure there's a reason, but I am not an expert in the arbitrary standards of French nobility, much less those depicted in a film that features Leonardo da Vinci and the Brothers Grimm. From a purely "awww" standpoint, that scene where she asks him to say her name again, gosh, I really loved that. I get that. If he weren't a man,…

  I have seen countless Cinderella adaptations now and yet this one still managed to keep my interest. I love Drew Barrymore and I think she was charming in this (despite the really bad accent oh no honey!) This one manages to set itself apart from the other versions by feeling much more legitimate period piece and less Disney fairytale, which was interesting.

  I do think it has that very late 90’s feminism quality to it. The kind of feminism that pushes girl power! but only power to certain kinds of girls, who deserve it. I think the problem for me is that this tried to tackle ideas of classism as well as feminism and that’s where it falls a little…

  Review by celia ★★★★½

  the cool thing about this one is that her being poor is actually meaningful. she’s not just a pretty girl in bad clothes, her commonness is important to her character, and those traits are actually the reason she and the prince fall in love in the first place. i think that’s pretty cool

  minus a half star for drew barrymore’s bad accent

  What is with all the 3-star reviews?! This movie is completely wonderful, and certainly the best version of Cinderella available. It's romantic and funny and thoughtful and feminist. Drew Barrymore has never been more charming or radiant. And the switch from fairy tale to realism is no less enchanting.

  Andy Tennant‘s romance drama Ever After (1998) isn’t your typical Cinderella fairytale adaption as it trades a dainty, submissive bride for the the fiery and independent heroine. A change that lead actress Drew Barrymore sells beautifully alongside Patrick Godfrey’s charming portrayal of the legendary Italian polymath Leonardo da Vinci, whose randomly been injected into this story. I’m not typically a fan of crossovers like this, but boy does this film sell it sweetly.
