The review critiques the costume design in Disney's live-action remake of Snow White, highlighting the male lead's jean-jacket-and-hoodie outfit as particularly jarring. The film, directed by Marc Webb and featuring music by Pasek and Paul, suffers from a lack of tonal cohesion, with characters and subplots appearing disjointed. Snow White, portrayed by Rachel Zegler, is introduced as a maid under the ruling of her evil stepmother, creating an intriguing backdrop that ultimately feels undermined by the inconsistencies in character portrayal and design.
I can't stop thinking about this jean-jacket-and-hoodie combination, because it really speaks to my issues with the movie as a whole. Not only is Snow White's costume and production design distractingly sloppy, but that particular outfit and character are so discordant with the movie's tone and plotline that it undermines anything the movie might have going for it.
While each of them has some potential, they're working against each other in one tangled mess of a movie.
The new Snow White comes from director Marc Webb, with a script from Secretary's Erin Cressida Wilson and music by Dear Evan Hansen's Benj Pasek and Justin Paul.
A brief prologue shows us that once upon a time, Snow White's parents ruled the land with kindness, baking apple pies for the common folk and dancing in the streets with them.
