If I had a nickle for every time I watch a movie where Cinderella gets to wear a veil covering her face, i'd have two nickles.

No but I like it. Like it solves the plot hole on why the prince couldn't recall her face and had to find her using the slipper. Plus, the aesthetic is just pleasing to me.

What I really like about The Ugly Stepsister is the way it manages to do a revisionist fairy tale from the villain's point of view without rewriting all the characters to be their opposites. Elvira gets meaner as the story goes on, at first casually and then maniacally, but I believed every step of that downward progression. Agnes/Cinderella isn't as sweet as her Disney counterpart, but she isn't unreasonable- she needs a rich husband to get her away from her stepfamily, and if she isn't all that sympathetic to her bully's unhappiness, would I have been?

There is a true fairy tale heroine, though: Alma, the other stepsister, who didn't go to the ball. She has all the fairytale protagonist characteristics- she's plucky, she has no time for her mother's mind games, she'll go to heroic lengths to save her family, and perhaps most important, she's the youngest of three sisters. And at the end, she rides off to seek her fortune, like a good fairy tale heroine- looking, in fact, a bit like the title character in the film Three Hazelnuts for Cinderella.

Is this fair? Of course not! Alma gets to be the fairytale heroine because she doesn't care about being one, and that's not fair at all. That's the bind women are put in, where you're supposed to succeed while not putting in any visible effort (that would be vanity, after all.) But neither fairytales nor horror movies are fair.
