Editorial
Festering with maggots and tapeworms, this majestically gruesome feature debut from Norwegian writer-director Emilie Blichfeldt guts facile fantasies of inner beauty. Adapting the timeless tale, this body-horror spin on Cinderella writhes with the darkness of the Grimm Brothers’ original vision.
