Disney’s live-action remake of Snow White has stirred debate since its announcement, but the film—featuring Rachel Zegler as the titular princess and Gal Gadot as a theatrically menacing Evil Queen—delivers a fresh take on the 1937 animated classic. The narrative changes and new songs breathe life into the story, though the CGI dwarfs fail to leave a lasting impression. As younger audiences tune in, resources are available to guide parents through the film’s themes and content.
For those drawn to unconventional storytelling, O’Dessa presents a visually striking, post-apocalyptic rock opera inspired by the Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice. Now streaming on Hulu, the film stars Stranger Things actress Sadie Sink as a guitar-playing farm girl on a mystical journey, with Kelvin Harrison Jr. portraying her love interest, Euri. The cast, including Regina Hall, brings depth to the surreal narrative, which blends fantasy with an emotional core.
Meanwhile, television is gearing up for an eventful spring. Netflix’s The Residence introduces an eccentric new detective, Cordelia Cupp, played by Uzo Aduba, in a White House-set murder mystery. However, early reviews suggest the series struggles under the weight of an ambitious concept. More promising returns include HBO’s The Last of Us Season 2 and Andor on Disney+, while fresh releases like The Bondsman and Sirens are generating buzz.
With major film releases like Magazine Dreams and Ted Lasso’s return also on the horizon, this season’s lineup ensures a packed schedule for streaming enthusiasts.
