“The Ugly Stepsister” is a fun Norwegian body horror send-up of “Cinderella,” about the way self-loathing and capitalism trickle down and congeal into body fascism. #Berlinale2025 www.polygon.com/horror/53210...

URGENT: The House is set to vote tomorrow on whether to advance $880 billion in cuts to Medicaid — eviscerating essential programs that provide lifesaving services for people with disabilities, children, seniors, and more. Tell your representative now: Don't cut Medicaid.

To me, a Nazi salute means, "I want to murder your family." There can be no irony about it: It puts deep anger and hatred in my heart to see it done and I will never forgive anyone who justifies or minimizes it.

#TheUglyStepsister rips the horror out of Cinderella’s original story, kicking and screaming, with a daring, truly disgusting spin on the classic fairy tale. Can’t believe this is a debut feature. I laughed, I grimaced, and I watched through my fingers. On Shudder later this year

@audubon.org The new documentary Every Little Thing follows rehabber Terry Masear over a summer of nursing Los Angeles’ injured hummingbirds back to health. The patients may be small—but the lessons they impart about empathy and persistence are anything but. bit.ly/4hBDBoc

“Norwegian writer-director Emilie Blichfeldt creates a version of Cinderella where beauty is pain for some women, but life is pain for all of them.” @savinapetkova.bsky.social reviews body horror The Ugly Stepsister from #Sundance2025 www.bfi.org.uk/sight-and-so...

"I decided quite early, this is what I want to do. If I can't make this movie, I won't make movies." Cannot overstate how happy I am that Emilie Blichfeldt held tight to this idea and made it happen. THE UGLY STEPSISTER is one of the best movies I saw at Sundance, by far! youtu.be/QHEaTh_OLZ4

i just cannot get over how much the administration’s response to the crash shows a profound disrespect for the lives of the people they are supposed to serve

We get The Substance and now The Ugly Stepsister at Sundance?! Body horror giving a big old middle finger to absurd beauty standards is thriving right now, and I’m loving it.

THE UGLY STEPSISTER, an alternate retelling of CINDERELLA, is like a mix of Scandinavian fairy-tale and Italian giallo, narratively disquieting and cinematically exhilarating. www.vulture.com/article/revi...

I absolutely loved Emilie Blichfeldt’s The Ugly Stepsister! It’s a very bold and twisted reimagining of Cinderella that blends body horror and dark comedy to explore the brutal pursuit of beauty that highlights the absurdity of societal beauty standards #Filmsky #Moviesky #Sundance

THE UGLY STEPSISTER is definitely not for the squeamish, but I promise you'll never look at Cinderella the same way again. This one is sure to be a Shudder favorite. #Sundance2025 punchdrunkcritics.com/2025/01/ugly...

THE UGLY STEPSISTER: Eat your heart out Cinderella as Emilie Blichfeldt’s macabre meal of a movie is the bloody belle of the ball. Bite in as much as you like, but best beware what you consume as it may just make its way back up 📽️ My #Sundance2025 review: www.thewrap.com/the-ugly-ste...

I had to look away, twice, during The Ugly Stepsister. I didn't even mention the most disgusting parts in my review. Recommended for fans of Lucile Hadžihalilović, fairytale Breillat, and maggots: www.ign.com/articles/the...
