The ensemble element of Into the Woods is strong because of the greatly written characters in the film by James Lapine. From The Witch to The Baker’s Wife to Cinderella and every other character in between it is such a great example of how a film can be an ensemble effort with no clear leads and while some of the story strands might go off into a bad place non of this is the problem of the ensemble which is the year’s most impressive film ensemble.
