I was extremely disappointed in this movie. The actors performed as best they could with what they had which was almost nothing, but they struggled with their scenes because the production is crafted so poorly that the scenes aren't tied together. It's a disaster.
At times I became confused when there was no transition. It goes from one quiet scene suddenly to a high spirited and unrelated scene and it's too abrupt and chaotic. Scene, one almost drowns, suddenly cut to the other being sick instead, then suddenly they are outside sending a third sister to a ball, cut back to suddenly the fourth sister walking across a field and then suddenly back to the ball and a pack of girls are climbing a staircase with one sentence said and then back to the fourth sister playing a piano. Ridiculous! It's like this all through the film!
The lack of production support for the characters fragmented cohesiveness and they were flat and soulless.
The actresses are very accomplished, yet the dialogue and story lines for each characters have been cut so dramatically the characters are left hollow.
The actor who played Laurie....oh gosh...why did they choose him? From start to finish for a movie that was supposed to transcend the passing years, he looked like a 14 year old boy.
A positive comment? I loved the dresses and attire dresses.
