Brian Lloyd reviews Disney's latest flick 'Cruella' starring Emma Stone in the lead alongside Emma Thompson.

Brimming with talent and eager to make her mark in the world, Estella (Stone) reaches London in the '70s at the birth of punk and glam rock, and falls in with petty criminals Jasper and Horace (Joel Fry and Paul Walter Hauser) as she plots to take on a powerful fashion designer (Thompson), who just so happens to have a connection to her own past...

"In steps 'Cruella' and you're hoping for something with a bit of oomph to jolt the whole thing into life. After all, it's a villain origin story and those always tend to do well in our current morass of comprised values and ambiguous meanings, right? 'Joker' won at the Oscars, so why couldn't 'Cruella' and Emma Stone? After all, you've got Tony McNamara, the writer of 'The Favourite' on scripting duties, Craig 'I, Tonya' Gillespie behind the camera, and Emma Thompson playing a stuffy English socialite. All the stars are aligning, but unfortunately 'Cruella' never quite lives up to the name or the expectation."
