Robert Stromberg

Robert Stromberg is an American production designer and film director. He made his directorial debut with Maleficent (2014) and is an Academy Award winner for production design on Avatar (2009) and Alice in Wonderland (2010).

Stromberg is best known for his work in production design and visual effects on major studio films and for directing Maleficent as his first feature film.

The review praises Stromberg's directorial debut Maleficent for its complex reimagining of the title character, strong production design and Angelina Jolie's performance. Special effects and the creation of the Moors are highlighted, while a few sequences (wings return, dragon) are seen as weaker. Overall: a successful and emotionally effective Disney reinterpretation.

For:Fans of fantasy films, Disney reinterpretations, production design and Angelina Jolie.
