Note de notperfect_justloved
Primarily, I was shocked that the VHS version (which we've owned for years, but I just saw recently for the first time) said this movie was rated PG, but once I got into it, there was some very graphic content - especially for a movie made in 1965! According to IMDb, it's rated PG-13, but that is certainly not what the case said! Additionally, I found a good deal of the content to be "assumed" and glossed over quite vaguely. It was often quite confusing - and I am not one to be confused with movies! Although it was beautifully done and worth the 3.5 hours to watch it, I found I had to read the book to really understand what was going on.
I was very impressed with this movie. Actually, I was a little surprised (now I feel ashamed to admit that!) that the American Girls movies are such quality films! So many books that are turned into movies made for TV and such are not very good (and not true to the books at all), for example, the Dear America series.
However, I personally was an avid American Girls fan when I was younger, and Felicity was my first doll and the first series I finished. I appreciated how much American Girls taught me about historical times from the eyes of young girls... perhaps they are not always completely historically accurate in the nitty-gritty details (as one user commented on the black lace on her dress and how Felicity has a non-family, apprentice as an escort), but I think the main ideas are present. She is an inspiring character, and always has been to me. I hope girls will appreciate this work of art as much as I did! However... as a warning to anyone who is a dedicated reader like I was... the movie's plot does not follow the books chronologically. All the important events are included in the movie, and nothing new is added, but things are diced up and mixed around. It confused me a little, but I understand it was for movie continuity. Anyone who has not read the book will not think twice about the sequence, and I'm sure even those who have will be able to forgive the writers!

This movie was jaw-dropping. It was so blatant and direct, it was painful to watch, and even more painful to think about the fact that these things really did happen.
The black-and-white filming threw me off at first, but then I realised that it was very effective and had an element of sophistication that I don't believe a colour film would have had.
However, the rating of 'R' was very well-deserving - the violence was shocking, for one.
I personally think, tho, that it could have done without the sex. Thus, I'm obligated to give this movie a 9.
