The hate is so forced. There’s something timeless about reimagined classics that continues to captivate us, even though new things are great. Despite my initial doubts because of media backlash over Rachel’s casting, her passion and commitment shine through in every scene, interview, everything. The film enchants with its breathtaking visuals and fairytale-likeness. Really, the harsh criticism seems rooted in petty misunderstandings, and it shadows the undeniable talent and mesmerizing musical performances that Rachel brought and elevated this movie.
