United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"Cate Blanchett is perfectly marvelous. Nothing steals a scene from her, except Sandy Powell's costumes and Dante Ferretti's production design, which are all kinds of wonderful (...) Rating: ★★★ (out four)"	POS
United States	Claudia Puig USA Today	Though it doesn't have the catchy songs of Enchanted or the witty dialogue of The Princess Bride, Cinderella enthralls with its ravishing style and timeless message of resilience, decency and kindness (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)"	POS
United States	David Rooney The Hollywood Reporter	"The color, vibrancy and unabashedly romantic heart explode off the screen in Cinderella (...) an uplifting movie that invests warm sentiment in universal themes of loss and resilience, experience and maturity"	POS
United States	Peter Debruge Variety	"An exquisite visual experience (...) Blanchett blends aspects of Bette Davis, Barbara Stanwyck and Marlene Dietrich into an epic villainess"	POS
United Kingdom	Guy Lodge The Guardian	"Blanchett is certainly the best thing in Kenneth Branagh’s perky, pretty, lavender-scented cupcake (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of five)"	POS
United States	Manohla Dargis The New York Times	"There's little in 'Cinderella' beyond its faces and gowns that captures the eye or the imagination."	NEU
United States	Jessica Kiang IndieWire	"A straight-up retelling of the tale for Disney (...) can this non-ironic un-re-invention possibly work? Actually, yes it can, and surprisingly well -- by approaching the story with a sincerity and sweetness that defy cynicism"	POS
United Kingdom	Lee Marshall Screendaily	"The last great big-budget romantic film of the analogue era (...) a delightfully clear-eyed adaptation of Charles Perrault’s fable"	POS
United States	Rex Reed The New York Observer	"The best Cinderella of them all"	POS
