Our suggestions
Maleficent and her goddaughter Aurora begin to question the complex family ties that bind them as they are pulled in different directions by impending nuptials, unexpected allies and dark new forces at play.
"One of Disney's first experiments in the live-action remake universe, 'Maleficent' is also one of the most interesting results. After all, director Robert Stromberg ('Oz: The Great and Powerful') reverses the logic of the story of 'Sleeping Beauty'. Instead of just talking about the princess and her enchanted prince, the movie focuses its attention on the wronged villain who gives the feature its title. From there, with a remarkable performance by Angelina Jolie, we get to know this character's story better while also seeing that love doesn't always have to be about romantic interests, but also about family."
