Literacy gets a booming shoutout in this new Beauty. The bigger twist is that the Beast is – no, not also gay – but as hot a book lover as Belle. This fact has earned the film cinema non grata status in some countries and rural American counties it’s so coded that it’s barely detectable. Belle is almost relieved to be locked up with a monster, since she previously spent her days escaping the randy attentions of Gaston (Luke Evans, a preening delight), a Bachelor wannabe whose sidekick LeFou ( Josh Gad), is, yes, gay. Enter Belle (Watson, the perfect embodiment of the little engine that could), a scrappy bookworn/inventor who voluntarily enters the prince’s lair in return for his freeing her artist daddy (the ever-splendid Kevin Kline) who wandered in there by mistake. A spoiled prince (Stevens, allowed for a minute to show his Downton Abbey handsomeness) gets zapped into a beast for being an arrogant prick his curse can only be lifted if the egomaniac learns to love and be loved in return.
