    I really enjoyed watching this! I do think that it was a bit unnatural sometimes and almost like a “In a perfect world” type movie. The acting was good for the lines given to the actors. I wish they had expanded on the main characters life with more detail and maybe given the mom some more dimension. There were a lot of things that seemingly happened for no reason, they would never affect her afterwards and there was no real pushback or explanation to her stress or mental health concerns

    I did really like this movie, however I think a criticism I would make is that it did not touch on race and certain elements such as slavery and how the school was very much on a plantation that had slaves in the original book. I thought it removed a lot of important context to the girls and changed the narrative of them being villains with humanity to innocent people who just so happened to be alive at the time…

    I love this movie, however I found it hard to follow at some points and thought that they could have had a stronger start to the movie.
