🎬 MovieFinder's Take

This television adaptation of Sondheim's masterpiece is a clever deconstruction of fairy tales, where lush melodies underscore complex moral dilemmas. The production embraces its theatrical roots, allowing the sophisticated score and lyrics to drive the narrative forward with wit and emotional precision.

What lingers after the final note is a poignant meditation on the aftermath of wishes come true, the burdens of happiness, and the stories we tell to make sense of our lives. — MovieFinder Editorial
