Released in
In 1970s London amidst the punk rock revolution, a young grifter named Estella is determined to make a name for herself with her designs. She befriends a pair of young thieves who appreciate her appetite for mischief, and together they are able to build a life for themselves on the London streets. One day, Estella’s flair for fashion catches the eye of the Baroness von Hellman, a fashion legend who is devastatingly chic and terrifyingly haute. But their relationship sets in motion a course of events and revelations that will cause Estella to embrace her wicked side and become the raucous, fashionable and revenge-bent Cruella.

My watch history
Cruella
Enjoyable, but a bit all over the place. There are bits of a heist film, bits of action, bits of good soundtrack, bits of humour, bits of nice cinematography, but it didn’t quite come together properly for me. It felt like it had too much crammed in to try and give it a broader appeal. I would’ve preferred a version about half an hour shorter that was a bit more consistent with itself.
