Movie Reviews of Moll Flanders
Movie Review: Solid compelling enjoyable
Summary: 3 Stars
I don't often watch was is an undoubtedly a feminist film. I found the story sad yet i could not look away. Morgan Freeman is a wonderful actor and portrays his character in a most sympathetic way. I can see myself watching this again in the future.
Summary of Moll Flanders
Take a beautiful and compelling trip back to 18th-Century England ( Prevue Channel ) with this lovely romantic epic ('satellite News Network ) starring Robin Wright (Forrest Gump) as a bold, courageous heroine. Featuring stellar supporting performances from Morgan Freeman (The Shawshank Redemption) and Stockard Channing (Six Degrees of Separation) Moll Flanders is a remarkable motion picture (Jeanne Wolf's Hollywood).Wright portrays Moll, a spirited, headstrong woman whose unfortunate social position leaves her in the most dire of circumstances. Famished and without shelter, Moll is forced to use her beauty as a means for livingfirst as a prostitute and then as a model for an artist who helps change her life for the better. But Moll's struggles are far from over, as the unthinkable occurs, effectively shattering her newfound happiness and forcing this pillar of strength to summon the courage to fight her greatest adversity yet!Robin Wright gives an adolescent, one-note performance as Daniel Defoe's 18th-century heroine, who has successive experiences as an abandoned child, a prostitute, a wife (five times over!), a thief, an artist's model, a felon, and much else. Writer-director Pen Densham takes a Forrest Gump-like sentimental angle on Moll's many manifestations (quite a bit different from Terence Young's bawdy 1965 film version) and mostly succeeds in making a movie that is too silly, precious, and weepy. Morgan Freeman plays a narrator (who doesn't exist in the book), and there are some good performances from John Lynch, Stockard Channing, and Jeremy Brett. But by the time this wobbly adaptation reaches its sappy conclusion, one can't help but feel the overriding power of the film is to insult the intelligence with treacle. --Tom Keogh
