The sequel to ‘Maleficent’: not so evil after all

By Vaishnavi Phadnis Oct. 23, 2019

As an engrossing and entertaining film that challenges gender stereotypes, 'Maleficent: Mistress of Evil' combats harmful fairytale archetypes of helpless, weak women. So, while it may not be a rollercoaster of emotions or unexpected events, it represents a well-intentioned family film that is interesting to watch nevertheless.
