“…a deliciously extreme take on the beloved “Cinderella” legend. Blichfeldt
makes clear that impossible beauty standards are the unfairest of them all”
-Peter Debruge, Variety
“The Ugly Stepsister Is The Substance For Disney Adults.
A tragic fable takes on a surprisingly modern, delightfully gory bent.”
-Lyvie Scott, Inverse
“Wonderfully unsettling. Cinematically exhilarating. Blichfeldt has so fully
imagined this world that its sinister magic rings true. “
-Bilge Ebiri, Vulture
“Masterfully mucks up our dreamy vision of fairy tale castles, princes, and romantic
heroines. A classic story with a bitingly modern satire and bold body horror.”
-Kristy Puchko, Mashable
“A wonderfully extreme spin on the Cinderella story that doesn’t hold back.
A staggeringly impressive debut for lead, Lea Myren”
-Perri Nemiroff Collider
“An audacious debut for Blichfeldt. A beautifully captured and often quite funny piece
of feminist social satire that builds to a conclusion of grand guignol”
-Jim Vorel, Paste
“It’s elegant, stylish and gnarly”
-Meagan Navarro, Bloody Disgusting
