Rachel Zegler has wowed viewers with her "stunning" lead performance in Disney's Snow White.
The live-action remake, which will be released on March 21, was given a UK press screening earlier today - and audiences were all saying the same thing.
First reactions to the movie were shared on Twitter/X by those lucky enough to attend the screening. Though viewers praised the music, costumes and production, they were very vocal about Zegler's "outstanding" performance as Snow White.

"I may regret saying this but #SnowWhite is solid. I really enjoyed the musical numbers, particularly the opening one and the Queen's evil bop. Zegler was great in the lead role, and Gadot was fun. It's really the CGI dwarves that let the film down. The choice is baffling," noted Filmhounds' Paul Klein.
"So grateful to be invited to see #SnowWhite a stunning, magical movie deeply infused with hope & @rachelzegler's outstanding performance elevating it to the very top of the Disney live action tree. Incredible songs, gorgeous production, it's a sweet & perfectly picked treat," wrote the All On The Board account.

Meanwhile, the Snow White premiere was held in Los Angeles yesterday (March 15) and social media reviews from across the pond were equally complimentary.
Screen Rant host Ash Crossan called the movie "quite charming", explaining: "The message lands well, the critters are adorable, and Rachel Zegler and her enchanting voice are stunning. It almost got a full tear out of me, and I've never cried in my entire life."
"Rachel Zegler is a shining supernova in #SnowWhite, beautifully embodying the graceful, gentle nature of the OG Disney princess. It's a visual feast with show-stopping new musical numbers and, of course, dozens of enchanting animated animals," said Variety's Katcy Stephan.
Crooked Media's Matt DeGroot declared: "Rachel Zegler is an absolute star, (most of) the new songs are catchy and beautifully performed, and the visual palette is sumptuous and vibrant. Gal Gadot had beautiful gowns."
The Snow White remake will be released in cinemas on March 21, 2025.
