Movie Reviews of Anne of Green Gables
Movie Review: An outspoken orphan finds an home
Summary: 4 Stars
A classic Canadian novel set to a good cast.
Anne Shirley was born under a fair star, but a troubled youth.
When she sets out to do a scene from a Tennyson poem, the boat sinks.
When she gives here friend a drink she gets the wine instead of the berry drink. She breaks a writing slate over a boy's head the first day of school.
But she gets firsts on her tests and gets a scholarship
and wins the love of even her enemies.
Megan Follows is the star who makes this work.
I've seem later versions with another girl playing that role
and they fail.
I didn't at first recognize Megan Porter from the Stratford Festival's production of Romeo and Juliet, but her way of reading lines
came through the same.
I liked this production.
Summary of Anne of Green Gables
Studio: Sullivan Home Entertmnt Release Date: 09/26/2006This gorgeous adaptation of Lucy Maud Montgomery's classic children's story is well worth watching with the whole family. Produced for Canadian television, it's one of those rare productions that actually sticks to the book and even enhances it through first-rate performances and an excellent script. Set on bucolic Prince Edward Island in the late 19th century, Anne of Green Gables is the story of Anne Shirley, an imaginative and headstrong orphan. When brother and sister Marilla and Mathew Cuthbert decide to adopt an orphan boy to help Matthew work the farm, they are astonished when Anne arrives at the train station by mistake. "What use is she to us?" grumbles the gruff Marilla. "We might be of some use to her," answers Matthew, who has taken an instant liking to the talkative Anne. As Anne grows up, her adventures are both hilarious and moving. It's a delight to watch as she forms a friendship with the beautiful Diana and her admirer--the dashing Gilbert Blythe--then dyes her hair green, cracks a slate over Gilbert's head when he calls her "Carrots," and finds a sympathetic teacher who encourages her to attend college.
Richard Farnsworth is perfect as the shy and gentle bachelor Matthew, who confides to Anne that he never went courting because "I would have had to say something." Colleen Dewhurst delivers a nuanced and powerful performance as Marilla, a seemingly cold-hearted spinster whose no-nonsense exterior conceals a warm heart. And as Anne, Megan Follows strikes the perfect note, maturing from freckle-faced orphan to elegant and poised young woman. --Elisabeth Keating
