Good Story, Poor Timeline

Rating: 7/10 (7 September 2018)

The novel adaptation makes a strong story. But boy does the timeline get disheveled! Yes, the book is written in alternating perspective, but the chapters are an easier way of dividing it than the movie has the luxury of using. Acting is good. It's an attractive film from a cinematography standpoint. As a native North Carolinian though, it sucks that the movie was largely filmed in Romania.
