Movie Review Disney's Snow White

Disney’s Snow White 

Directed by Marc Webb

Written by Erin Cressida Wilson

Starring Rachel Zegler, Gal Gadot, Andrew Burnap 

Release Date March 21st, 2025

Disney’s Snow White is exactly the movie we need at this moment. At a time when supposed leaders say things like ‘The fundamental weakness of Western Civilization is empathy,’ Disney’s Snow White takes a stand in favor of empathy. Indeed, the film boils down to a battle of good versus evil where a venal, greedy, oligarch is defeated by empathy, compassion, and courage. And not a single sword pierces flesh, no arrows fly, and no bodies pile up in the process. The triumph of good over evil is a victory of community over the selfishness of the few. 

Disney’s Snow White stars Rachel Zegler as Snow White, the princess of a kingdom run with benevolence, honesty and compassion by her parents, played by Hadley Fraser and Lorena Andrea. When the Queen dies, the King falls under the spell of a newcomer who comes to be known as The Evil Queen (Gal Gadot). When the King goes to war and does not return, The Evil Queen locks Snow White away while she steals the wealth of the kingdom, starving the people, and enslaving the farmer as guards under her magic spell.

Movie Review The Front Room

The Front Room (2024) 

Directed by Sam and Max Eggers 

Written by Sam and Max Eggers 

Starring Brandy Norwood, Kathryn Hunter, Andrew Burnap 

Release Date September 6th, 2024 

Published September 10th, 2024 

I have a strong stomach for movies containing gross stuff. I have experienced the body horror of David Cronenberg, the horrors of numerous legendary horror movies, and I’ve endured the sight of Jon Voight’s stupid face. The point is, I can take a lot after more than 24 years of watching and writing about movies and yet, The Front Room grossed me out. The Front Room turned my stomach. Body horror is one thing but Bodily Function horror is an altogether different kind of horror, and one that I am not a fan of. 

The Front Room stars Brandy Norwood as Belinda, a college professor who is more than 8 months pregnant. Belinda and her husband, Norman (Andrew Burnap), have bought a new home but the purchase has them struggling financially. That struggle becomes even more daunting when Belinda is pushed out of her teaching position by simply no longer being scheduled for classes. It’s at this point that Norman finds out that his distant father has passed away. The two weren’t close and Norman hints that there was emotional and physical abuse involved, much of it related to his stepmother, Solange (Kathryn Hunter).
