Cruella

About This Movie

Cruella brings us into a vibrant, chaotic 1970s London, where punk rock is the backdrop for a young grifter's rise. Estella, played with a mix of charm and cunning, is a character that really pulls you in. The film has this gritty, almost rebellious energy, and the color palette is striking—lots of blacks and reds that feel very deliberate. The pacing is brisk, and the chemistry between the young thieves adds a layered dynamic, giving a real sense of camaraderie among the misfits. The performances, especially Emma Stone as Estella, are engaging, and you can't help but be drawn into her world. It’s interesting how it juxtaposes fashion with crime, really playing with the themes of identity and ambition in such a unique way.
