# The Ugly Stepsister (2025)

2025 · 109 min · Comedy · Poland, Denmark, Sweden, Norway

Original title: Den stygge stesøsteren

## Synopsis

The Ugly Stepsister is a 2025 satirical black comedy body horror film written and directed by Emilie Blichfeldt, in her feature film directorial debut. An international production mostly in Norwegian, it is loosely based on the 19th century fairytale "Aschenputtel" by the Brothers Grimm, itself a retelling of the French fairy tale "Cinderella"; unlike most versions of the stories revolving around Cinderella, it focuses instead on one of her stepsisters who embarks on a grueling quest to capture the heart of a handsome prince. It stars Lea Myren, Thea Sofie Loch Næss, Ane Dahl Torp and Flo Fagerli.
