This is the back story to a Disney villain. Like Maleficent they create a complex character that is not all evil and certainly didn't start that way. Estella lived as a street orphan at an early age and wanted to be a designer. She becomes employed by the Baroness only to discover they have a history she did not know about.
I am a fan of Emma Stone and didn't think she was right for the part. She proved me wrong. It was a great story and a great supporting cast. What I loved most was the soundtrack, even though it was sometimes anachronistic. At the (possible plot spoiler) supposed death of Cruella, they play "Come Together" a song about Paul being dead when actually still very much alive. Now if you are looking for the subliminal evil, the license plate number JOH1930 could be read as John 19:30. This has some darker moments to it and I did not see it as a child's film.
I could watch it again just for the soundtrack.
