The Ugly Stepsister - Reviews

...provides sufficient blood and gore, with a dash of sex and nudity, to make it an appealing ticket...

...it’s effective as a grotesque spectacle.

...strap in for a ride to the dark side as The Ugly Stepsister supplies laughter, loathing, and buckets of dirty water, hoping to wash away the bloodstains and pains needed to appear sensational at the ball.

Blichfeldt revels in the grotesque and gory, pushing things to their limit, with an unmistakable sense of glee.

...body-horror take on Cinderella is ingenious reworking of fairy tale.

Impressively nasty body horror puts The Ugly Stepsister through a beautification gauntlet.

The tyranny of an unscaleable beauty hierarchy will forever be the inspired stuff of great horror moviemaking.

A ferocious, unrelenting Cinderella story, rich in both style and substance.

Feverishly funny, gruesomely gross and unrelenting in its satirical critique of both beauty standards and the designation of a cinematic “protagonist,”...

This Scandinavian reconfiguring of “Cinderella” isn’t interested in reclaiming or rehabilitating this archetype. Instead, Blichfeldt just wants to recognize the character in all her humanity and hubris.

Norsk/svensk body horror-satir om skönhetsideal och Askungens fula styvsyster? Jajamänsan, och liksom i ”The Substance” blir det både kul, bisarrt och riktigt äckligt.

...absurd, splattrig och fylld av mörk humor.

Fabulöst fyndigt, fantasirikt och fasansfullt om Askungens styvsyster.

Grotesk, känsloladdad förvandlingsberättelse.
