    if you’re looking for a Christmas movie that makes absolutely no sense, is visually stunning and features an utterly fabulously unhinged performance by Kiera Knightly, look no further than The Nutcracker and the Four Realms

    The Nutcracker and the Four Realms is a woefully misguided attempt to turn a ballet into four quadrant fantasy movie BUT Keira Knightley's Sexy Baby Villain is an all-timer

    A sort of comfort film I enjoy a lot even though it's story isn't particularly great is The Nutcracker and the Four Realms (2018). I watched this one on my own in December 2018 and had a wonderful, merry time. It's totally beautiful and sounds magnificent, at least. Sometimes that's enough. ♡ 🎄

    What is it with shitty movies having epic music in their trailers? #Clara&theBelow just reminded me of this epic rendition of 'Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy' from the teaser of The Nutcracker and the Four Realms. Say what you will about that movie, this music piece kicks ass!! #ClaraAndTheBelow

    In this special Christmas bonus episode, we’re making Caroline’s birthday sweeter with a (largely) unedited, gut reaction to 2018’s The Nutcracker and the Four Realms. Dance your way through the film as we go beat-by-beat through what is en pointe and what may need to head back to the barre. 🎄💂🏾🐭🩰

    It's from THE NUTCRACKER AND THE FOUR REALMS. The ballad at the end is by Andrea Bocelli and his son. Obviously Vlad must have a thing for this movie, but because it wasn't a big hit, nobody gets the "unified theme" of the program.

    It's a crime that we haven't gotten a big budget holiday stage spectacular based on The Nutcracker and the Four Realms. Also this movie contains Keira Knightley's best performance since Atonement.

    Watched The Nutcracker and the Four Realms the other night. I wish Disney would go back to making films like that. It’s not the best film ever, but it’s so whimsical and fresh in terms of a Nutcracker adaptation, I think it’s pretty good! I’d honestly love to see a sequel for it.

    I re-watched The Nutcracker and the Four Realms recently and as a film that came out in 2018, the film’s final act does have some “He will not divide us” vibes that I didn’t pick up on back then.

    THE NUTCRACKER AND THE FOUR REALMS: -shrugs- It’s a Nutcracker movie if made with 2010s Hollywood money. I dunno what the 2018 reviews were seeing, it doesn’t really do anything worth getting passionate about.

    Film #482: The Nutcracker and the Four Realms Never before has the term, "Suggested by" been more casually thrown around. It's okay but nothing special. Kierra Knightly's character is the living personification of, "The Evil Voice" from Mitchell and Webb. #25FilmsOfChristmas Disney Films: 48/50

    When "Clara" (Mackenzie Foy) follows a mysterious golden thread she finds herself in a magical kingdom that it turns out - from her new "Nutcracker" friend "Capt. Philip" (Jayden Fowora-Knight) - is ruled by her mother! This is confirmed by the great and the good at her castle, whereupon she must announce that her mother is no more. Does that make her queen? Well there are certainly a few flies in that particular ointment and it falls to the young girl and her brave military friend to thwart a…

    Not necessarily bad, just pretty lame. 'The Nutcracker and the Four Realms' is a harmless and simple film, fine I guess for the festive period. As a whole, though, it isn't good - despite neat effects and a couple of big names. Keira Knightley (Sugar Plum), Helen Mirren (Mother Ginger) and Morgan Freeman (Drosselmeyer) are familiar faces and are enjoyable on a base level, but their characters are rather forgettable. Mackenzie Foy (Clara) and Jayden Fowora-Knight (Philip) are decent together,…
