Four Stars: ˜˜˜˜

Along the way there’s laughter and tears, and one of the most tragically romantic stories you’ll ever see.

MEMORABLE QUOTES

This is not your grandmother’s fairy tale. Laced with feminism, psychology, and epic quest motifs, this revival adds layers and depth to the archetypal plot.

Snow’s destined alright—but destined for what?
