Academy Award® winner Emma Stone (“La La Land”) stars in Disney’s “Cruella,” an all-new live-action feature film about the rebellious early days of one of cinemas most notorious – and notoriously fashionable – villains, the legendary Cruella de Vil. “Cruella,” which is set in 1970s London amidst the punk rock revolution, follows a young grifter named Estella, a clever and creative girl 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, played by two-time Oscar® winner Emma Thompson (“Howards End,” “Sense & Sensibility”). 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. Disney’s “Cruella” is directed by Craig Gillespie (“I Tonya”) and produced by Andrew Gunn (“Freaky Friday”), Marc Platt (“Mary Poppins Returns”) and Kristin Burr (“Christopher Robin”), with Emma Stone and Michelle Wright (“Baby Driver”) serving as executive producers. Two-time Oscar®- winning costume designer Jenny Beavan (“Mad Max: Fury Road,” “A Room with a View”) creates the dazzling and imaginative costumes, which take on a life of their own.

— I really do hope this movie gets nominated for costume design, as I feel the costumes were a separate character all their own as well.

— And as for the four different imaginings of Cruella (1961 animated, Glenn Close in 101 & 102 Dalmatians, Victoria Smurfett on Once Upon A Time and Emma Stone) they’re all iconic in their own way.

I can’t believe Baroness/ Emma Thompson was Sybill Trelawney in Harry Potter. She is such an amazing actress

[ohnono]

This movie was kind of an underdog in itself. Everyone thought that Disney couldn’t possible mix in the like-ability, darkness, villainy, sympathy and logical backstory of cruella that actually makes you root for her but also accept her as a villain when the movie ends. And somehow they did. This movie is a joy to watch and is surely top 3 best Disney live action movies (in my opinion the best).

I have never seen a film have such an organic synchrony between CGI and the real. The details of each scene were really neat.

[Fantastic_Beasts]

I disagree that Anita is “more bland” in the 95 film! She has a career, she becomes a mother, has more dialogue with Nanny, more romance scenes with Rodger, hits Rodger with her bag. She also figures out Cruella’s plan and contacts the police. All of which is absent from the ‘61 animated film.

I love how we can understand Cruella better now that we know more about he origin and still acknowledge that she is *THE* villain and not some misunderstood hero.

I finished watching Cruella yesterday and I have to say this origin story of how she truly became Cruella De Vil was perfectly setup. Emma Stone really made the role her own. What makes this version of Cruella different from Glenn Close's Cruella is that we get to see who she truly was before becoming the villain to the Dalmatians, Anita and Roger who are of course introduced in this film. Getting to see a different side to Estella/Cruella where she cared about Horace & Jasper as well as others was never explored in previous iterations and we get to see it in this film. Their is that duality Estella faces whether she wants to be Cruella or Estella, Is she truly like her mother, and Emma Stone in that moment does an amazing job of trying to figure who she truly wants to be. Then of course getting to see her showing of her fashion skillset with the amazing designs gave it that extra pop. I will say the 70's backdrop with all the different songs of the 70's playing in the background felt like you were magically transported to the 1970s. The level of authenticity to bring that era was done really well for this film. Then with the introduction of Anita Darling and Roger Ratcliffe with Anita being a childhood friend of Estella/Cruella setting up the Dalmatian universe was brilliantly executed especially with the mid-credit scene with Cruella giving each one of them a special gift and eventually Anita Darling and Roger Ratcliffe will cross path with their respective dogs Perdita and Pongo for the sequel. One thing I will say is that it definitely had a cross between The Dark Knight and Joker films with Cruella De Vil's backstory with the introduction and mayhem that was nicely balanced for the character. Even though the story was fast paced it explored every facet of the titular character and Paul Walter Hauser is just a scene stealer and his humor is laugh out loud throughout the whole film. Definitely worth the watch.

This is an alternate universe Cruella. The non smoking, punk-rebel, friend to animals. Horace and Jasper in 101 had no problem killing puppies but in this they have a dog best friend. Cruella has a mutt as a best friend. There is no way this Cruella would kill a puppy. She even befriended her mother’s killers. I did like the movie quite a bit, but it should have just been some kind of new super-hero or something.

[ChristoAbrie]

while all the live-action performances of Cruella are amazing, Glenn Close was the one to immortalize her in live-action. she set the bar extremely high and gave an Oscar-deserving performance. Glenn's films are also long overdue for an Oscar for their costume design (102 was nominated but didn't win). Emma Stone was amazing, and she deserves an Oscar for her portrayal. It's about time that Cruella wins Oscars for best actress and costumes.

Also in Cruella Baroness is the real villain

[christianzeidan]

The new Cruella film is great, but there is one line I wish they included:
-How are you?
-MISERABLE DARLING AS USUAL PERFECTLY WRETCHED.
Also, I hope that there will be a Cruella 2, when she starts smoking (damaging her brain) and killing dogs for coats. The cigarette is a huge part of her character.

I'm not one to really like fashion...but I liked how dramatic the Cruella outfits were and the entrances she made with each one. The white cloak at the white and black ball with the match burning it up revealing the bright red dress, riding in on a motorcycle with a makeup made mask saying the future, riding off then turning off the lights to see her named scrawled on the building, her walking onto the baroness' car and locking her in while draping the train of her dress over the window with a part saying the past referring to the baroness.
It was bold with the dump truck, but she made that just as wonderful with the headline about her being part of the outfit and riding away with yards of fabric trailing after her down the street like Rapunzel's hair.

Watched it. LOVED IT. Especially the fountain monologue scene. Emma Stone is a superb actor.

[shelbyjames]

I absolutely love this! I was a fan of the original, and it’s been such a joy to see what this story has progressed to. Glenn Close will always be Cruella, but Emma Stone definitely gave her a new feel that is brilliant! I’ve seen the new film 3 times now and all I have to say really is “well done, best remake to date!”

[mywallyworld]

I saw the movie last night!
It was wonderful. Emma Stone rocked Cruella.
A fun movie that keeps your attention and music to get your feet tapping!
The costumes were fabulous as well. I can see what Halloween is going to be like this year and would not be shocked if it wins some awards.

[TGoody]

I'll give props to Glenn Close because she was the first actress to bring this iconic character to the live screen. I always thought she was born to play Cruella, when I first saw 101 Dalmatians that was my first thought and it still is but it's also nice to see Emma Stones' version of Cruella as well not as over the top menacing and physical comedic as Glenn's performance but still amazing. Nothing beats the original animated version of course because it was the first performance of a then new character that no one has ever seen before now.

Baroness: "No wonder I love it; it's mine."
Cruella: "I fixed it."

[andeeharry]

Cruella De Vil
Cruella De Vil
If she doesn't scare you
No evil thing will
To see her is to take a sudden chill
Cruella, Cruella
She's like a spider waiting for the kill
Look out for Cruella De Vil

At first you think Cruella is a devil
But after time has worn away the shock
You come to realize
You've seen her kind of eyes
Watching you from underneath a rock

This vampire bat, this inhuman beast
She ought to be locked up and never released
The world was such a wholesome place until
Cruella, Cruella De Vil

[ronhorster]

It was a good movie and Emma Stone played her really well. However one thing really bugged me: Cruellas whole personality in all all that came before this film was „I live for fur“. Yet this Cruella doesn’t even touch fur in the entire movie. She doesn’t even hate dogs, although the other Cruellas all do. Also it’s a little hart to believe that Cruella would go as a designer from the 70s punk style to high end fur fashion in a few years. So all in all it’s a good movie, just the fur part really bugs me

[koko_kittyrose]

Cruella (2021) is the best live action Disney movie I’ve watched in a while. The concept of the movie is so original, fresh, and realistic to how society is in reality, I honestly prefer the Emma Stone version of Cruella rather than the og version. She fabulously devious. The costume designs really captured the true essence of Cruella. The
ending was also great as well because it’s not your average happily ever after ending Disney has always put in almost all their movies. It was a new beginning for one of the most infamous and iconic Disney villains. I also loved the mid-credit scene, because of the easter egg of how Pongo and Perdita met their respective owners. It’s a great movie that I will probably won’t mind watching again.
