ChungiBoi likedThe Ugly StepsisterHoly Mackerel. I’m never eating again. I always loved the Brother’s Grimm stories growing up and now a movie finally delivers on the very non-Disneyfied version of Cinderella. Easily the best public domain based movie I’ve seen, even though the competition is lackluster
Alex likedThe Ugly StepsisterA true horror version of Cinderella. They depicted vanity and obsession in a way that made this “body horror” stand out. Also loved the synth score throughout the film. Don’t watch this if you’re squeamish. 8/10

I had a sandwich during this movie so I had to play a little game of ✨Was that my stomach or hers✨ Also am I the only one that found Agnes’s dress kinda ugly
Eva D likedThe Ugly StepsisterIncredible. You feel empathy for both of them. Both exploited in slightly different ways. As well as stunning cinematography
Tuvanico likedThe Ugly StepsisterAmazing, made me want to throw up 🥰
- IM lovedThe Ugly Stepsister
Really good, but I expected it to be even more grotesque tbh. I love how they referenced both Disney Cinderella and the one we watch on Christmas in Scandinavia. You can really tell a women directed it, which I love. I’d probably give it a 8,6/10 or smth.
Emmie Munoz lovedThe Ugly StepsisterOne of the best Grimm brother retelling I've seen the body horror really showed that the step sister would do anything to achieve her dream while Cinderella got everything with ease.
L30n likedThe Ugly Stepsisterabsolutely nasty and disgusting, loved it! however, there were a few unnecessary sex scenes and some strange dialogue.

The film’s creative gore alone cannot paper over the ultimate flimsiness of Blichfeldt’s concept, which amounts to an adolescent scrawl of fairytale satire, somehow less interesting and transgressive than Angela Carter’s ‘The Bloody Chamber’ which predates it by 46 years.

Writer-director Blichfeldt’s debut feature is more cringe-worthy than laugh-out-loud funny. She picked obvious targets. But there’s a lot to be said for having the audicity to “go there” and go gory when you’re sending up the ugly open secret that “Beauty is pain,” that it’s a trap and that it’s well past time to stop taking fairy tales with princes and “Sleeping Beauties” at “children’s story” face value.

Emilie Blichfeldt knows the exact point of queasiness to which she can push an audience and gradually tests how much further she can move that mark with each successive scene.
