About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a darker, more serious take on a familiar fairy tale with lavish visuals and gothic atmosphere, closer in spirit to Mood Indigo; Not for you if you want a light, musical, fast-paced romance.
Pros: gorgeous costumes and scenery; darker fairy-tale mood; strong lead performances | Cons: slow, uneven pacing; romance feels rushed; awkward character chemistry
