Anne Frank of Green Gables?

Rating: 9/10 (8 February 2015)

I know; you've seen this film, and think me a Philistine for daring to merge those two icons of story.
However, this piece was done with such grace, such subtle and nuanced humanity, that I can find nothing to smirk at. Sure, there are elements of verisimilitude that might have been toned down a notch—shifting German accents here and there being the most glaring to me —but overall, this film is charming, poignant and gripping. Not every mash-up (and I'm not saying that was the creator's intent, just what came to my mind) is lessened by it's component parts.
I'm putting the novel down on my "to read" list. Definitely well worth the time.
