Quick-and-dirty review: Mirror, Mirror
Nov. 10th, 2012 09:07 pmSnow White by way of Bollywood, with side trips through Wonderland, Oz, and even a quick dalliance with Zorro...with all the knobs turned to 11. Its lighthearted tone is both its saving grace and its weakest point; we spend so much time in the fractured-fairy-tale headspace that the few heartfelt-meaning moments fall a bit flat. Still, it's not long before something else silly happens and we're back to admiring the sheer audacity of its unapologetic ridiculousness. Special mentions for the sound design (it gave our surround system a workout) and the costumes, which look like King Bidgood's In The Bathtub come to life. B+
