There have been various versions of Cinderella till now from the time of the black and white era. But what Brannagh has made is spectacular for all, the aged ones as well as for the new generation. Keeping the content intact, he has inserted quality performances as well as superb visual effects, both of which are controlled. As a result the film did not lose balance nor has become too much theatrical.

The actors are also worthy of praise for the film. Acting is the heart of any good fairy tale and here the cast has proficiently offered high quality acting. Be it Lily James in the role of Cinderella or Cate Blanchett in the role of the evil stepmother. The role is extremely stunning and will make the viewers enjoy the show more than ever.
