Snow White

It’s the film people love to hate! It’s Disney gone woke! Well I thought I’d take one for the team and actually watch it, and guess what haters it’s not that bad.

And by ‘not that bad’ I mean ‘not worth hate people are pouring on it’. It’s just another lacklustre live action Disney remake presumably made to extend their copyright.

I don’t really know where the wokeness accusations are coming from. Mostly likely people who didn’t watch the film. It’s especially ironic given that Rachel ‘not white enough’ Zegler gives an excellent performance, to the extent that it’s hard to imagine who else they might have cast.

The real crimes here are Zegler’s terrible hair and Disney store-looking costume, Gal Gadot’s strained performance, and the cursed dwarves and animals. Does that make it worse that all the other shite we’ve been subjected to over the years? Not really!
