New Release Review - "The Ugly Stepsister"

by Eric Hillis, TheMovieWaffler.com
published 2025-04-22

Combining the bawdiness of Walerian Borowczyk's medieval fantasies with the postmodernism of Sofia Coppola's Marie Antoinette, Norwegian writer/director Emilie Blichfeldt's The Ugly Stepsister might be described as a neo-fairy tale. It's essentially the Cinderella story, taking elements from both the Perrault and Brothers Grimm versions, and it's set in a beautifully rendered version of some non-existent Scandinavian kingdom of the past. But the trouble with fairy tales is that they were written hundreds of years ago when the world was a cruel and insensitive place, and their black and white presentation of good and evil doesn't fit with our modern sensibilities. Nor does the reprehensible idea present in so many fairy tales that physical "ugliness" is a sign of bad moral fibre.
