Cruella

Cruella

For the finest film of 2021, I have chosen Cruella. Cruella is a film that is not just intriguing, but entertaining and truly heartbreaking. The performance, narrative, and plot twists elevate it to new heights. Emma Stone is the main actress, taking on the role of Cruella de Vil. Emma is Cruella’s very essence, and she really immerses herself in the roles that flesh out the complexity of an emotionally charged past. Cruella’s attire and design are the most incredible elements I have ever seen in a movie. The degree of detail on Stone’s and the rest of the cast’s costumes is commensurate with the sheer volume of them. I love how each costume changes to mirror the scene’s atmosphere or what’s going on. The narrative piqued my curiosity since this Disney film was unlike any other that I had seen before. The most intriguing aspect was how Cruella was inspired by her mother’s loss, and yet unlike Batman or anybody else, Cruella chose evil above virtue. Overall, the acting was also outstanding! From the heartbreaking beginning to the fitting conclusion, I enjoyed every single minute of this film. It’s fascinating to learn about the lives of our infamous Disney villains, and why they ended up the way they did. I would generally suggest this film to folks who are interested in a fantastic story, which has a lot of plot twists and superior production quality.
