God save the Norwegian film industry
7 December 2022
The owl looks like a Furby on low battery, the queen is a mouth breather, and only one guy talks, like if he is from the past. In other words, it's really hard to settle with the scenery.

Most of the script has been copied from the Czech version. Though there are numerous adaptions to the story of Cinderella, these film makers didn't even try, they only made a Norwegian copy which was bad to be honest.

Sigrid, in the role of Cinderella/Askepot, is the only thing that charms. Her warmth is all there is to this cold script.

Norway is in a very romantic relationship with its own history, yet none of this would fit in anywhere. The language, the clothing and the culture is from separate times, even between characters, but it shouldn't have to fit into history: it's a fairytale.

There is nothing fairytale-like about it what so ever. Except, maype: the fact that this movie made it out.
