I think the director could have stood to cut the middle "ALL THE LANDCAPES" section by say... half, and used that time to construct a final act that maybe... could make some logical sense? But I guess the lure of the pretty landscapes was just TOO STRONG.

THOSE FAIRIES. I kept staring at them completely undecided whether they were supposed to be creepy or cute or BOTH AT ONCE. Guys, I'm not sure... what you're trying to achieve here...

On the other hand, Ravenna was EXCELLENT, the movie passed the Becdel test in ways I didn't expect it to bother with and I completely appreciated that the supposed love triangle was not even HALF an issue. William and Eric seem to basically recognise each other as the two people MOST TOTALLY OVERINVESTED in Snow White staying alive and are cool with that. And Snow White mostly has bigger things on her mind than choosing anyone. A+ guys.

I'm still kind of sad that they killed Ravenna though, despite all the writing on the wall. I was secretly hoping Snow White could maybe Disney-Princess her into a state of more ambigious evil. Or not so secretly. XD
