THE UGLY STEPSISTER – Emilie Blichfeldt’s Acclaimed Nordic Beauty Horror

“…a deliciously extreme take on the beloved “Cinderella” legend. Blichfeldt

makes clear that impossible beauty standards are the unfairest of them all”

-Peter Debruge, Variety

“The Ugly Stepsister Is The Substance For Disney Adults.

A tragic fable takes on a surprisingly modern, delightfully gory bent.”

-Lyvie Scott, Inverse

“Wonderfully unsettling. Cinematically exhilarating. Blichfeldt has so fully

imagined this world that its sinister magic rings true. “

-Bilge Ebiri, Vulture

“Masterfully mucks up our dreamy vision of fairy tale castles, princes, and romantic

heroines. A classic story with a bitingly modern satire and bold body horror.”

-Kristy Puchko, Mashable

“A wonderfully extreme spin on the Cinderella story that doesn’t hold back.

A staggeringly impressive debut for lead, Lea Myren”

-Perri Nemiroff Collider

“An audacious debut for Blichfeldt. A beautifully captured and often quite funny piece

of feminist social satire that builds to a conclusion of grand guignol”

-Jim Vorel, Paste

“It’s elegant, stylish and gnarly”

-Meagan Navarro, Bloody Disgusting

-Siddhant Adlakha, Polygon
