The "children" are impressive. Quick dialog and constant movement. Creative retelling, but glad I had recently finished the book again so I could follow the story. There really is a lot of yelling. Understandable for the children who argue almost incessantly (Nesbit's genius of writing children as they truly are) but it's the mother who shouts every line. Sweet, angelic, patient Mother, this portrayal makes you hate her, impatient, panicking, blowing her top.
Costumes are wonderful. I wish the stage people could've stayed out of the shots- very distracting.
Even thought I didn't love it- I'm thrilled this wonderful piece of children's literature is brought to life for modern audiences.
