Camila Cabello’s Cinderella deserves praise for its portrayal of female ambition

Firstpost  

We did not need another Cinderella story. And yet Amazon Studios decided to produce one more adaptation of the fairy tale. There is the unkind stepmother, the extravagant ball, the glass shoe, the charming prince who falls in love with Ella in a heartbeat, the midnight deadline, and the fairy godmother. She reminded me a lot of Priyanka Chopra Jonas’ Ayesha Mehra from Zoya Akhtar’s 2015 Bollywood film Dil Dhadakne Do. Unlike other popular fairy tale adaptations that have tried to be feminist but ended being just another rehashed version of the age-old tropes, Amazon Studios’ Cinderella is an attempt in the right direction.
