She then runs around the estate marking off her check list of people to fix. Then the movie has to put its foot down to get the actual story underway.Īll that time defining this disturbed, distant little girl is erased in an instant when she suddenly realises that her mum did love her and she transforms into Pollyanna overnight. You get shots of fingers brushing leaves, shoes stamping in puddles, misty moorland, overcast skies, etc. As little girls in the 1940's, stuck in dusty manors in the middle of the moors don't really get up to much the film feels very, very slow and voyeuristic at times. The film carries on like this for a while and we get to know the unhappy lead character rather well. The only comparison I can think of for this level of isolation, loneliness and alienation is "28 Days Later." A young girl in the 1940's has to go and live with a distant uncle she doesn't know and she finds a secret garden and some friends.
