Where To Watch The Ugly Stepsister

The Ugly Stepsister is a dark, grotesque and surprisingly funny reimagining of the Cinderella story, but this time the spotlight falls on Elvira, the overlooked stepsister rather than Cinderella. Elvira lives in a world where beauty is treated almost like a currency, and her mother Rebekka pushes her toward Prince Julian in the hope that marriage will rescue their family. When Elvira's extraordinarily beautiful stepsister Agnes becomes her greatest competition, Elvira becomes increasingly obsessed with transforming herself into the kind of woman the prince—and society—will desire. Her pursuit of beauty takes an increasingly disturbing turn, turning the familiar fairy tale into a body-horror nightmare about beauty standards, jealousy, social status and self-worth.
