Beautifully Shot, Worth A Watch
29 October 2020
The Secret Garden

This latest iteration of a much loved children's book had many good things about it and does not deserve the very low scores some have given it on here.

The cinematography is ravishing and the acting overall sufficient but pedestrian for the roles, I also think the music score was well placed.

The problem areas, we had gross tokenism and even racial stereotyping, I won't allude to these details in the movie as I would just be repeating the grievance.

The plot was played around with and seemed more based on previous iterations that the source material.

It was slow in places then rushed through important stuff and the pacing was all over the place.

Overall I enjoyed it and give it a 6, meaning worth a watch won't set the world alight.
