Ever After takes the timeless fairy tale and weaves it into a sweeping historical romance filled with adventure, passion, and a heroine who refuses to wait for a prince to save her. Drew Barrymore shines as Danielle de Barbarac, a courageous and intelligent young woman who defies societal expectations in 16th-century France. With wit as sharp as her mind and a heart full of fire, Danielle captures the attention of Prince Henry (Dougray Scott), not with glass slippers, but with her fierce independence and unwavering kindness. As treachery looms in the form of her cruel stepmother (a deliciously wicked Anjelica Huston), Danielle must fight for her own destiny, proving that true love is built on more than just magic—it is earned through courage and integrity. With breathtaking cinematography, a lush Renaissance backdrop, and a story that blends romance with thrilling moments of empowerment, Ever After is a Cinderella adaptation that feels both timeless and refreshingly modern.
