Into The Woods
A modern twist on several beloved fairy tales, interwingin the plots of a
few choice stories and exploring the consequences of the characters’ wishes
and quest. This humorous and heartfelt musical follows the classic tales of
Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Jack and the Beanstalk and Rapunzel, all
tied together by an original story involving a Baker and his Wife, their wish to
begin a family and their interaction with the Witch, who has put a curse
on them.
Critic Reviews:
- " When it comes to navigating how to be both a family-friendly holiday
crowdpleaser and a faithful adaptation of a tricky but profound musical, Into
the Woods is mostly golden. " – Sophie Gilbert
- " A disclaimer: Despite a dizzying and delightful first half, the film
ultimately devolves into a very grim fairy tale. " – Mara
Reinstein
- " Meryl Streep luxuriates in her blue wig as the vengeful Witch
who's also a moral compass. " – Paul Byrnes
