The fairest of them all
MIRROR MIRROR updates the Snow White fairy tale, and offers a light and amusing distraction from more recent screen offerings.
Gloriously costumed and visually sumptuous, it has a cast led by Julia Roberts as The Queen; Lily Collins (daughter of Phil) as Snow White, Arnie Hammer (Prince Albert) and Nathan Lane (Brighton).
If there is a fault it is that the story moves at a slow pace.
Unlike other Snow White films, there are beefed up roles for the seven dwarves. Indian born Tarsem Singh directs.
Meet Albert Nobbs-on April 27

The script was co-written by Man Booker prize-winning novelist John Banville and Gabrielle Prekop.
