Brian Orndorf Blu-ray.com The intent of the production is clear, but the execution is hopelessly mangled, leaving a picture that commences with dignity and concludes as an absolute mess. Rated: C Apr 20, 2014 Full Review Read all reviews

Zoe K Romantic, suspenseful…love the Wilkie Collins vibes, but the romance bits are my favorite. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/17/23 Full Review Vicki M This movie had so much potential. But the film is like two different movies in one. I wish the whole movie was like the first 20 minutes and last 2 minutes and 30 seconds. And a few other scenes are ok. But that's it. The pace is excruciatingly slow. And the music that's supposed to set the tone in various scenes is so heavy handed. The director fumbled a film that could have been enjoyable storytelling if it had been done well. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 07/26/23 Full Review lidia l Loved the story and style. A comfort movie for me Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/07/23 Full Review Audience Member I truly enjoyed this movie. It held my attention and was never boring. Very suspenseful and entertaining. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Frances H I do love Frances Hodgson Burnett, and they made this story into something more along the lines of Wilkie Collins than the author of The Little Princess, although both go in for melodrama. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/20/17 Full Review Audience Member I loved the chemistry between Lydia Wilson and Linus Roache, it made me wish there had been more scenes for the characters, however Lydia Wilson was fairly successful carrying the plot in his character's absence. James D'Arcy is great as the shady, but charismatic cousin Alec Osborn and Hasina Haque brought a lot of depth to the character of Hester. It loses 1 and a half stars for not being enough of a romance nor enough of a "thriller"... Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Read all reviews
