Alex K Nov 16 How do you turn a great 700 page book into an 85 minute movie? By cutting out it's heart, soul and character development. Just bad. See more JP H @Taocat Sep 26 On Prime? Oh I thought it was a corny poor plot Hallmark movie. It’s bad, what else do you need to know? The screenwriter must have written this while half asleep. Flat acting devoid of even”play pretend” emotion, if Nathaniel Parker phoned his performance in it may have been better. See more Lew A Aug 20 Just awful. The script and the acting were simply dreadful. The character development seemed like a committee wrote it in shifts. The murderer made no sense, and I couldn’t wait for it to be over. When it was, I was sorry for a waste of time. See more 09/09/2021 Wow. I genuinely cannot imagine a worse rendering of the source material. Imagine screenwriting, casting and performances worthy of a school play… awful. Hopefully at some point someone else will acquire the rights and produce films worthy of the series. See more 01/23/2020 Louise Perry's characters seem well cast. Very fun to see the landscape and towns in Canada where the novels are set. See more 11/23/2019 It was a poor adaptation of an excellent story. Penny's novels are engaging and have a wide audience. Mr. Moss (the producer) made some terrible decisions. His first error was in the screen adaptation, second in allowing the absurd whitewash of lovely carefully structured characterizations to be eliminated. The third was in not recreating Three Pines as the remote wilderness location it is in the novels. The biggest was in not hiring Louise Penny as a screenplay, location and script advisor. Such a bland and insulting film of a challenging and fascinating group of characters could only be done by a producer refusing to allow his creative people some space. Viewers may enjoy this, but it lacks depth, resonance and beauty. Please don't make any more disasters like this when you could have created something like a Canadian multicultural Midsomer!
