Snow White: The Fairest of Them All Audience Reviews

GamerTab That was an excellent one.
Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated
Acensbart Excellent but underrated film
Glucedee It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.
Boristhemoggy Put succinctly this film starts out OK, then quickly descends into the most appalling acting and directing I've seen in a long time. The cut to the baby is so badly done it would not credit a first year video student. The story is odd, the special effects next to dire, the acting abysmal, photography average, lighting poor and sets/location poor. There is only one saving grace to this movie and that is the welcome presence of the fantastic Vera Farmiga. Her skills transcend this movie so much that she ought to have embarrassed everyone in it. I grudgingly accept that Miranda Richardson wasn't dire, but neither was she good. Kristin Kreuk looks like some kind of manufactured doll, and in fact acts like one too.If you love Vera Farmiga's skills watch this if nothing else than for her: she totally shines. As for the rest, it's an hour and a half of your life utterly and totally wasted.
david-376 Lots of neat symbolism - I thought Miranda Richardson did a killer job with a tight script, some great sets (the room of mirrors is brilliant)sharp directionand great cinematography.I can't think of a better film depiction of a woman who suffers from a narcissistic personality disorder - it's clinically right on the button - - I guess itjust depends on why you watch a movie - for me it was really arrestingI do agree Kirstin Kreuk was probably out of her depth atthe time (2001)against Miranda Richardson... few wouldn'tbe at her age. Her progress as an actor in Smallville hasn't been stellar either - but you can't blame the casting director really - she looks perfect in the role
screenhound22 SPOILERS within--be warned.Okay, y'know how you sometimes hear from people "This movie is horrible. It's so bad it's funny!"? I never really understood what that meant until I saw this telefilm. This was broadcast in 2001 but it was filmed in 2000 (I think) because it was supposed to be Kreuk's very first starring role. There are some familiar bit players as dwarfs and wannabe dwarfs, but the only serious player in the whole company is Miranda Richardson. Suffice it to say, everyone took a break but managed to collect a paycheck. The script is absolutely horrible, the key to what's wrong with everything else. Nobody gives a quality performance and none of the characters are even likable. Richardson can't save the project on her own and this is Kreuk giving her most bland, raw delivery--and that's saying something.I have no clue where they got the idea to make Snow White's father an ordinary man who was made into a prince by a jinn (a rather demonic Western genie who looked like he'd have been more at home on an episode of Hercules: The Legendary Journeys) or why they made the wicked Queen a hag sister of the jinn who spent her days turning unsuspecting dwarfs into lawn figurines, but really just wanted to be beautiful and adored. However, it was very jarring, silly, and unconvincing. Also, the character of Snow White rails at being labeled beautiful but is trapped and suffocated by what amounts to an enchanted shawl while doing chores in the forest because it catches her eye and she comments "How beautiful!"There is only one scene in this mess which is absolutely priceless. Richardson's wicked Queen, having disposed of Snow White through the suffocating shawl--or whatever it's supposed to be, retreats to her room of wall-to-wall magic mirrors and with the source-mirror in her hand asks a variation on her famous question"Mirror, mirror in my hand, who is the fairest in the land?"She's asked the wall question twice (that we've been shown) and been given two answers. The mirrors illustrate each answer so that if things work out the way she wants them to, she'll be surrounded by sentient reflections of herself gesturing, smiling adoringly, and saying "You are" over and over again--quite the booster for her fragile ego. When Snow White outshone her, she was instead surrounded by magic reflections of Snow White repeating "I am."What's funny about this scene is, after a hard day's work of evil magic to get rid of her rival, the Queen reclines and asks the mirror in her hand (the source-mirror) the famous question, and a living reflection of Snow White pops out of the mirror--says "I am" and gives the Queen a quick kiss on the mouth before disappearing back into the mirror. The Queen shrieks in horror, rage, and agony--the emotions I felt as I sat through this telefilm.
abc_soup Snow white has always been, and always will be, such a classic story. Now, after watching this film i am greatly disappionted in one; the dramaticly changed, and at times confussing plot line, and two; Vincent Schiavelli role within the film.After watching 'One flew over the cuckoo's nest' just the other night, and now seeing Schiavelli in this dud of a film, i must say how disheartened i was to see such a great actor stoop to a awful rendition, as this was.Although it was ment to be a more 'modern' insite to snow white, it really didnt do anything for me. Change of story line, bad acting, and over-done 'special effects' are only a few of the things that ruined this film.
