CriticsCritics: 55
AudienceAudience: 7.1

A gifted protector of a magical forest kingdom faces betrayal when invading humans threaten her home. Seeking revenge, she curses a newborn princess, but as the girl grows, their relationship challenges the protector’s bitterness and may offer a path toward peace.

My take

You’ll likely enjoy this if you like visually rich fairy-tale adventures such as Alice in Wonderland, but it’s Not for you if you want a darker, more faithful Sleeping Beauty retelling.
