The culture is a stinkin’ cesspool.

That’s how I feel somedays, and to feel better, I’ll pound out a blogpost castigating a movie like “50 Shades of Grey.”

Here are a few more reactions to Cinderella from movie reviewers from around the world:

“Branagh and company whip up a handsome slice of old-fashioned family entertainment.” TV GUIDE’S MOVIE GUIDE

“This is the film of a full-blown romantic who believes in true love, happy endings and the importance of an absolutely fabulous wardrobe.” DAILY EXPRESS

“Darlings, just breathless with the news: Kenneth Branagh’s Cinderella is a sumptuous, candy-coloured rush of romance, with added thespian backbone from Cate Blanchett as the evil stepmother.” TIMES [UK]
