Disney's 2025 live-action remake of 'Snow White' walks a fine line, avoiding controversy while being somewhat of a narrative mess. While Rachel Zegler's performance and the film's message of kindness resonate, the extended runtime introduces unnecessary complications. Director Marc Webb and writer Erin Cressida Wilson faced the challenge of building upon a minimally plotted original film, leading to choices that remain questionable. Despite these flaws, there are standout moments—like the charming CGI animals—adding to the experience. Ultimately, the film's intention of conveying a timeless moral message is its redeeming quality.
As much of a mess as the 2025 movie based on the classic animated film might be, it's not an offensive remake.
Despite one of the more memorably controversial press cycles of recent years, Snow White works hard to avoid any controversy.
The movie's fundamental message of rejecting tyrants and being good to other people is definitely one the world could stand to hear right now.
Snow White, meanwhile, was perhaps as close to a blank slate for Webb and Cressida Wilson as you could possibly imagine.
