This movie is a phenomenal backstory to the villain from the 1960's animated "101 Dalmatians", and takes a different perspective on the life of Cruella. I saw this mentioned a few times in other reviews, but this movie differs from other villain-standalone films because it's not a sob story for the villain and how they become that person. They actually show her as a human being who faces hardships that eventually turns her into the character we and know and love. I was truly blown away by this movie. My girlfriend and I were sucked in from the moment we pressed play, and continuously made comments to each other about how well made the movie is. I gladly rate this movie a 5 star. Would recommend to anyone I know.
