REVIEW: The Secret Garden
This is a pleasingly patient film that honestly tackles grief death and rejuvenation without sentimentality.
As the rest of this well-know story unfolds on the big screen very elegantly I might say I found myself thoroughly immersed in this sumptuously presented Eden.
As novel adaptations go this interpretation is a solid offering utilizing the latest technologies to enhance the visuals (mainly the look of the garden).
