REVIEW SUMMARY
Snow White may not be the remake that changes many people's negative perception of Disney's live-action trend, but the truth is that Marc Webb and Erin Cressida Wilson manage to offer a more fascinating version of the classic tale. At the center of it all, Rachel Zegler shines with a magnetic performance, elevating the main character to new heights of complexity and charm. Her enchanting expressiveness and outstanding vocal talent make this Snow White one of the most notable protagonists of the modern live-action era. With a stronger, thematically richer script, a convincing romance, exciting new songs, and an updated vision that respects the essence of the classic, this remake proves that there's room to revisit old stories and make them even more tantalizing.
