The Secret Garden (2017)
Was surprised to find more secrets hiding in this adaptation then I had thought possible.
To be honest I consider myself a connoisseur of the Secret Garden. From age 4 to 10. It was one of my very favorite books. To date myself, I saw the original Broadway musical starring Mandy Patinkin (Archibald Craven) and Daisy Eagan as Sara. I then saw Daisy come back to play Martha at the Washington DC Shakespeare theater production of the Secret Garden. I also as a child with my best friend must've seen the early 90s movie seven times in theater. I see all this not to brag, because I'm sure all of you don't care. But just to give justification towards what I'm about to say, I absolutely adored this movie. I really really loved it. Do I think it's perfect absolutely not, but what is? The set design, costuming, and production is extraordinary. I really enjoyed the development of the characters.
This was one of the first adaptations that I've seen that takes the musical and the book and combines them together. Which is why even though this was available for free with ads I purchased it with my own money. I can't wait to watch the over and over.
