Clever and - most important - stylishly witty. It's frustrating that viewers and reviewers are unable to sit back and enjoy a creative bit of popular filmmaking that features sublimely comedic and touching acting performances.

It's just like they throw a bunch of money against it and think it will be fine: Insert ideology, make it look flashy with a bunch of CGI, hire celebrities and that's about it really. Oh and clearly these reviews aren't rigged. Can't put a negative review on here without trying 100 times and the signup for Disney + advertisement on the top of this page is reaaaally subtle.

Emma Stone and Emma Thompson are the best part of the movie, but 'The Devil Wears Prada' vibes make their interaction a little derivative.

I Just watched this movie and it is by far the best movie I have ever seen in 2021. The story, the writing, the actors were 10's across the board. The fashion, The acting, The Attitude and The music is also 10/10. If you are ever in the moodI Just watched this movie and it is by far the best movie I have ever seen in 2021. The story, the writing, the actors were 10's across the board. The fashion, The acting, The Attitude and The music is also 10/10. If you are ever in the mood to feel like a bad b**ch, this movie fully embodies it. Emma stone was meant to play cruella and she embodied her perfectly.

Watching the movie, the background story on cruella explains a lot on how her behavior is currently. Can't deny as well that cruella embodies everyone who is hungry for power and fame. Its also very funny. The directors make sure not to make in every scene funny but funny at the correct moments.

Another thing I love was the high fashion. The choice to play the movie cruella during 1970's/80's london was a very good choice, not to mention the fact that during that time fashion was really high couture. (compared to now, but has its moments).

Now if there are any negatives. To be honest, i found not much negatives. Tho i did feel the ending was missing something but that could just be me. Another thing is of course the dead parent. But considering the fact that cruella joins other orphans and becomes a band of thieves makes you forget that her mom died. Of course with her mentioning her a few times but it doesn't take over the whole movie

Overall, I HIGHLY recommend this movie. Again, if your feeling like a bad b**ch? Watch this movie. If you're a fashion lover? Watch this movie. If your a disney fan and want something other than singing people and crying and depression and seeing something opposite? Watch this movie. Or if your in the mood of watching two iconic actresses (Emma Stone and Emma Thompson) and watch them lock horns and have a fashion cat fight? Watch this movie.

My rating? Out of 10? 11/10.… Expand

I did not find it exceedingly dark in that I was uncomfortable having my younger daughter with me. She doesn't frighten easily though. The story which I thought was predictable at first, turned out to provide many twists I was not expecting. I really felt empathy for Cruella and her character was very humanized after watching this. To me, the mix of fashion, cinematography, excellent song choices and exceptional acting by both Emma Stone and Emma Thompson; made this the coolest movie I have seen in quite a while. I was amazed I was watching a Disney movie in fact. I love Disney, but if I am looking for an edgy, avant garde film, Disney is not what comes to mind. I honestly would not be surprised if this film gathers many award nominations, especially in acting, art direction and costuming.… Expand

Cutaways,"Style over substance" isn't an often encouraged approach for me when it comes to the craft of filmmaking. Who would've thought I'd welcome it within the realm of Disney's steadily declining library of "live-action remake/prequels." Cutaways, needle drops and montage sequences? Theft, grifting and murder (and implied infanticide, at that)? In my good, Christian, four-quadrant family picture? Disney's made it pretty well known that they're far from feeling shame in churning out safe and diluted reinterpretations of the items in their catalog of intellectual property. Every once in a while, though, you get a "Christopher Robin," a movie that slips through the corporate cracks and leaves more discerning cinema goers shocked with how much of a swing it ends up being. "Cruella" is that kind of movie and then some. Imperfect, but a welcomed change of pace with a damn discernable personality and tone about it. No idea where the hell they plan on going with this property -- or if they do at all -- but if it ends up being as fun as this, I'll gladly show up again.… Expand

I've been excited; but nervous, to see this movie for the last 5 years since they announcedIf you know me you know 101 Dalmatians (the Disney 1961 animated film) is my favorite movie and Emma Stone is one of my favorite modern actresses. I've been excited; but nervous, to see this movie for the last 5 years since they announced Emma Stone as Cruella. Was it worth the wait? 100% Yes! Simply put, I was blown away! There were plot twists that made my jaw drop and I was on the edge of my seat and couldn't wait to see what would happen next. My friend Bethany commented on my expressions during the movie. (By the way, make sure you stay for the mid-credit scene).

The movie is a prequel to the live-action 1990's 101 Dalmatians and the mid-credit scene sets it up nicely. The movie is set in the 1960/70's. You first get introduced to Estella, a young girl who tries to be good. Like all children she is not perfect; however, Estella tries to please her single mother. Estella soon meets Horace and Jasper. They form a friendship, turned family and this is where the story truly begins. In this adaptation you will also meet Roger and Anita.

The acting was great. The dynamic between Emma Stone (Estella later Cruella) and Emma Thompson (The Baroness) are amazing. (The other cast are all great as well.) I have no complaints. Both Estella and The Baroness are hard-working, talented in the fashion field; but, you wanna stay on the good sides of these two ladies. The Baroness is Estella's cut-throat boss later turned nemesis. The Baroness is a rockstar in the fashion world and Estella's Idol. This brings me to the costuming.

The costuming has to win some awards. It was truly a work of art. As a guy who knows basically nothing about fashion it made me wish I did: because I felt like I would have appreciated it more. It was truly impressive especially the one scene with Cruella's train blowing in the wind. (When you see it you'll know what I mean!)

You know how the original 'Cruella' song says "to see her is to take a sudden chill' I did get a chill from Emma Stone a couple of times. Both these ladies were phenomenal! Speaking of the original song let me talk about the music.

The soundtrack has all 70's songs. Most of these songs aren't huge hits but not obscure songs either most of the songs you will know. Many of the songs chosen are not originals but remakes. There are some original songs in the film as well. Band 'Florence and the Machine' has a song titled "Call Me Cruella".

The music was used to convey a lot of emotion and used very well for the dark cinematography which starts out in black and white. Which is perfect! It is PG-13 I wouldn't recommend for children because it is a bit dark.

How does Emma Stone compare to Glenn Close? I'm not sure! Emma Stone is supposed to be the same version that leads into Glenn Close. As I'm writing this I'm watching Glenn Close to compare and I can't. I think they are both great!

What else can I say? This is definitely a woman empowerment movie. You may feel a little sad for Cruella; yet, you will still think she is evil! You will admire Estella for her hard work. It is over 2 hours and is much better than 2014's Maleficent. Lastly, I highly recommend this film! On a scale of 1 to 10 I definitely give it a 9.5.… Expand

The only good thing worth noting apart from the good cast is the stunning costume design.

For the first time I think Disney finally understands the appeal of a Disney Villain movie. In their original films, these characters, with their larger than life personalities and charisma, are particularly and peculiarly magnetic. Yet we are never supposed to root for them, although many of us might do on a certain level like a guilty pleasure. A Disney Villain movie should let us enjoy and indulge in rooting, for once, for the Villain, and said Villain should be every bit as magnetic and devilishly fun as their animated counterparts. Maleficent only gave us the real Maleficent in the Christening scene, allowing us to revel in her dark humor and power, limited only by the fact that what she ultimately does in that scene is bad. The problem is, of course, that Maleficent is just the Sleeping Beauty story told from the villain's perspective. With Cruella, free from the constraints of a 101 Dalmatians retelling, Disney finally allows us to indulge in Cruella's devilish charisma and humor while we dive in a story meticulously planned like one of Cruella's heists. It is an amazing film that is eye-catching with its fabulous fashion sensibilities and ear-pleasing with its engaging and dynamic soundtrack. This is a stunning film that sets up an intriguing world that holds your attention from start to finish. Emma Stone and Emma Thompson are incredible in their roles, chewing scenery and stealing the spotlight from each other back and forth. The last third of the movie is so heart-pumping intense I was genuinely surprised Disney allowed it. Stone and Thompson played it to the hilt. I could not stop grinning.

If this the future of Dianey Villain movies, I feel thrilled by the possibilities and optimistic.… Expand

"Cruella" is a mix of Harley Queen that worked with parts of the script and soundtrack of "Joker" and the theme of "The Devil Wears Prada". Disney has a better and more charismatic live action movie that it had ever made!

Cruella is no exception, taking us on a painful winding journey of a young girl lost in the world, struggling with her inner demon and trying to choose a path in life. The question of nurture versus nature is explored deeply in this absolutely brilliant movie. Emma Stone was born for this role. She displays incredible depth and range, a woman struggling with her involuntary past at the edge of controlled madness. Emma Thompson as usual plays her role flawlessly, giving a chilling portrayal of mental illness. Mark Strong of course delivers a calm, reassuring rock of strength in an ocean of chaos. The casting of this movie is brilliant. The fashion aesthetics of this movie are truly exemplary. Every single outfit and ensemble is classy and well placed for the period and the moment. I did not think there would be a worthy successor to ‘The Devil wears Prada’ but here we are. Hilarious moments and hijinks, and the constant battle of stealing the spotlight in crafty, shocking ways, keeps this pretty long movie clipping along. The soundtrack selection was spot on, each song was well placed for the era and scene. Immersing Cruella’s journey in the glorious decades of London life from the 60’s onwards, especially the punk era, adds a genuine anchor to the tale. Even though the after credits scene seems to imply a direct transition to beloved cartoons of yore, I would venture to say we should have a sequel within this microcosm.… Expand

An origin story on how Cruella de Vil came to be, this film stars Emma Stone as Estella, a girl with a tragic past who starts out innocent, but through acts of vengeance and intuition, rises through the ranks and against her scheming fashionAn origin story on how Cruella de Vil came to be, this film stars Emma Stone as Estella, a girl with a tragic past who starts out innocent, but through acts of vengeance and intuition, rises through the ranks and against her scheming fashion designer boss (played by a very nasty Emma Thompson) to become one of Disney's most frightening and recognizable villains. Stone's casting in the titular role had me excited for this film from the very get go, as she's undoubtedly one of my favorite actresses. And man, did she deliver! She blew this film right out of the park with her supremely confident, charming, but equally sadistic performance! She's EASILY the best part of the whole film, just as I'd suspected she'd be! Thompson also delivers what's undoubtedly her most sinister and intimidating performance to date as the main villain of the film. Storywise, while it does follow a lot of the familiar tropes and beats of a prequel/origin story, things are kept pretty fresh for the most part thanks to several elaborate set pieces and spectacles throughout. The production design and costume design were the next biggest highlight for me. Surprisingly, there's also a pretty killer classic rock soundtrack that accompanied this film that never felt hokey or distracting at all. It actually made the film feel pretty hip and cool in an unforced way somehow, which, like I said, really surprised me. Overall though, despite the formulaic origin story approach, my expectations for this were actually exceeded a little bit, due largely in part to Stone's absolutely amazing lead performance (seriously, she's reason enough to check this film out!), as well as the captivating production and costume design throughout. And plus, the film is really just a lot of fun! Seriously, I enjoyed this one a lot more than I already knew I would!… Expand

The music is also very well chosen. The FX are good but pretty ordinary with the dogs. You can see the CGI bleeds everywhere with them. Not a big problem but maybe more present for an adult. I give it 72%. That was a pleasant surprise because I expected, that it would be terrible. But it's well written and with amazing acting performance.… Expand

Disney has done it again.
In its constant eagerness to remake its animated characters in live-action, now it was Cruella de Vil's turn, and she received the same treatment Maleficent received.
The villain turned anti-hero. Yet once again theDisney has done it again.
In its constant eagerness to remake its animated characters in live-action, now it was Cruella de Vil's turn, and she received the same treatment Maleficent received.
The villain turned anti-hero.

Yet once again the same question arises: Why?
And sure, the complete and total answer would be money, but Disney seems more focused on giving cool characters to the new generations, while omitting their past in the animated classics.

And I guess it's fair, not much of the public has seen or will see those films, even kids, therefore a story like this, designed to be visually impressive, becomes quite attractive for the general audiences.

And Cruella is all about making a visual impact, and I know how to appreciate good work in terms of costumes, sets, music and production, but I also pay a lot attention to the script, and Cruella is more about style than substance, and that creates a gap that nothing else in it can fill, and it's hugely unsatisfying.

Emma Stone and Emma Thompson are the attractive force in acting terms, battling to see who's the biggest **** but the appeal becomes tedious after a while, much like the montage in which Cruella crashes several events of the Baroness played by Thompson.

We understand it, she's kinda punk, aggressive and audacious, they didn't have to sell it in such a persistent and repetitive way, especially considering that these scenes are only made to show off the costume work, not because it adds anything to the story.
The rest of the cast is criminally wasted, especially Mark Strong who's only there for one important scene.

Cruella is more of an audiovisual show, than a true tale.
Yes, there's an origin story there, of course, but this ultimately says nothing at all.

Do you want to meet the real Cruella de Vil, the actual villain? Watch 101 Dalmatians.… Expand

"Cruella" bounces back and forth between goofy heist moments and "serious" moments so frequently and jarringly that ultimately all of the moments come across as comedic. Is this movie for kids? The creators of the movie don't even know. CGI is inexplicably used for some dogs in the movie (but not others?). I will admit that the costumes were well done. If only more focus was given to the script. Most charcters are archetypes defined by one personality trait, character motivations are weak at best, the dialogue is by-the-numbers, and the only surprising moments in the story either undermine the rest of the story or just feel completely unbelievable. There is a plot twist I will not spoil that is eye-rolling to say the least. All these faults would be more tolerable if the movie was not so darn long. The story of this movie did not need 2 hours to tell. And the majority of those 2 hours is saturated with unnecessary voice over (often explaining what is already obvious visually) and pop music. I liked the soundtrack but the movie relied on it too heavily and did not usually integrate it with the visuals effectively. I can't really recommend this movie to anybody. Emma Stone tried her best to salvage this disaster but was cringe-worthy to be honest.… Expand

First of all, I'm not the type of person that writes reviews, but I needed to share my thoughts on Cruella. This movie has a lot of to live up to, after all, we're talking about one of the biggest villans in history, and the best part of the film is that we can finally see the human side of Cruella. Emma Stone looks stunning from the begining to the ending, she is and incredible actress and was the perfect choice to bring Cruella to life.
The BEST point of the movie is the costumes. Everything is so beautifully done, congrats on Jenny Beavan for the amazing job, the choice for the movie to be set in 70's London was perfect, the epicenter of fashion at that time really made a difference in the costume desing. Every costume is amazing, there are no better words to discribe them.
The story is very unpredictable, there's always a twist, and that's keep us so entertained, keeping us always in that feeling of tension and exicitement. I've found a lot of references to The Devil Wears Prada and Ocean's 8, both great movies like this one. It's so cool to finally see Cruella's good and bad sides, what happened for each trade of personlity beetween Estella and Cruella, how they can be so different and so equal at the same time. Another thing that's important to say in this review is that I was questining myself about how they would put that rivalry beetween Cruella and the dalmatians in this movie, and It was amazingly well done, they didn't transform the main caracther in a monster that kills puppys and uses it skins to craft clothes. PLEASE watch this movie, you'll fall in love with this caracther and it's story.

PSA. After watching, please listen to I Did Something Bad by Taylor Swift, this song really reminded me of Cruella's story.… Expand
