Rachel Zegler Is a Star — Just Not the One Disney Wished Upon
She deserves a movie (and a studio) more aware of all that she’s capable of bringing to the screen.
Like the animated Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs ’ Adriana Caselotti, Zegler is a soprano, and though most of the songs in the remake are pitched down to an alto range, she pushes through the stomp-clap Pasek and Paul of it all with plenty of gusto and commitment, moving easily through spaces filled with nothing. In turn, the movie is full of contradictions: The dwarfs look horrible but sound good; Gal Gadot’s Evil Queen is the best styled presence onscreen but can neither sing nor dance (nor act?). In lieu of a Prince Charming, the love interest, is just a guy named Jonathan (Andrew Burnap) who advocates for Snow White to fight for herself … but also winds up saving her at the end of the day.
