52% Informative

Emilie Blichfeldt's twisted fable explores how a patriarchal society pits women against each other.

The Ugly Stepsister is a brutal and enthralling story of self-discovery.

The film is set in medieval Germany , a time of corseted gowns and royal balls.

Myren Myren is heart-wrenchingly lovable as Elvira , offering a heroine whose naivete would have fared far better in a Jane Austen novel.

The Ugly Stepsister is a deranged and dizzying achievement, folding in a classic story with a bitingly modern satire and bold body horror.
