Summary
"That's the whole point. I'm going to marry the Prince."
THE UGLY STEPSISTER is Emilie Blichfeldt's first feature, and it is unfathomable that a first-time feature filmmaker was given the space (and budget) to make such a biting, daring, and monstrous creative swing. The reason Cinderella is a fairy tale is that to be a woman so pure and beautiful that a rich prince takes you away from your terrible existence is a fantasy. The painful truth is that for the majority of us, we will never be Cinderella and have far more in common with "the ugly stepsister."
This movie is extreme, so proceed with caution!!
