In 1970s London amidst the punk rock revolution, a young grifter named Estella is determined to make a name for herself with her designs. She befriends a pair of young thieves who appreciate her appetite for mischief, and together they are able to build a life for themselves on the London streets. One day, Estella’s flair for fashion catches the eye of the Baroness von Hellman, a fashion legend who is devastatingly chic and terrifyingly haute. But their relationship sets in motion a course of events and revelations that will cause Estella to embrace her wicked side and become the raucous, fashionable and revenge-bent Cruella.

Biggest Swing

The film jumps from the dark, jarring death of Catherine to the entertaining introduction of the Baroness and fashion world.

Cruella starts with a surprisingly dark opening that some found jarring for Disney, but finds its footing once Emma Thompson's Baroness enters and the fashion rivalry begins. The film peaks during the visually stunning Black and White Ball sequence, maintaining strong momentum through the escalating fashion war despite some pacing concerns about its length.
