An intriguing and amusing story for grownups about a chance encounter between a now-adult Red Riding Hood (RRH) and Cinderella. The movie is packed with beautiful would-be princesses inhabiting a kingdom devoted to all things beautiful with one exception -- its king (marvelously played by Jiro SATO)! "Master" RRH does pro bono work in trying to solve the murder of a predatory royal male hair stylist obsessed with collecting the long hair of women whether they want a short-hair look or not. Acting and direction are okay. Production value seems high. Cinderella's pumpkin carriage design is super original. CGI is fine. Subtitles are close enough. Closing hints at more RRH adventures to come. Yokatta! (Great!) Viewed on Netflix. WILLIAM FLANIGAN.
