One day, Estella’s flair for fashion catches the eye of the Baroness von Hellman, a fashion legend who is devastatingly chic and terrifyingly haute.

Our take on Cruella

Craig Gillespie's 2021 crime comedy-drama reimagines a familiar villain's beginnings in 1970s London amid the punk-rock upheaval. A young grifter named Estella, hungry to make her name through her fashion designs, falls in with a pair of young thieves who share her taste for mischief, building a life together on the city's streets. When her talent catches the eye of the fearsome fashion legend Baroness von Hellman, a chain of revelations pushes Estella to embrace her wilder, wicked side. Stylish and irreverent, it leans on period costume, attitude and an origin-story arc. It's aimed at viewers who enjoy glamorous, mischievous character pieces and a heroine leaning gleefully into villainy.
