Disney's live-action adaptation of Snow White aims to extend the original 83-minute film into an hour-and-49-minute spectacle, but the storytelling becomes muddled. The film introduces music that confuses rather than enhances the narrative. Gal Gadot's portrayal of the Evil Queen includes a perplexing song about Machiavellian politics, while Rachel Zegler’s performance provides a more accessible, albeit generic, counterpart. Despite the ambitious attempts at adding depth through music, the film's world-building results in a convoluted experience that often detracts from the overall enjoyment.
The choice to make the Evil Queen sing about Machiavellian politics, delivered through confusing lyrics and breathy performances, adds a strange complexity to the character.
Gadot's song 'All Is Fair' embodies the film's convoluted world-building, mixing sultriness with lexically complex lines that challenge comprehension.
The live-action adaptation of Snow White expands on the original's narrative, but introduces a muddled and bewildering approach to storytelling, particularly through its musical choices.
While Zegler's song is considered generic, Gadot's deeper, darker number attempts a more ambitious commentary, yet ends up feeling mismatched within the film's structure.
