Review by maricam

I finally got around to watching this one and, while the pacing was too slow for my tastes, I have to give it at least five stars for trying something new, even though it didn't work in many ways. I have long mourned the death of originality in the entertainment industry. It's had so little to offer a viewer like me for so long I've taken to combing the long lists of obscure movies on Prime and Netflix looking for anything that might offer something other than the usual violent, vulgar, salacious rubbish that seems to be the fall-back for most screenwriters. This iteration of "The Secret Garden" avoided all those elements, gave the classic story a Steampunk flair, and for that alone I must give it credit. It may not have worked well but it's a step in the right direction.
