Flower in the attic movie review.

Based on other reviews here the book apparently blows the film away but since i ve yet to read it i m just judging my review on the film alone. Andrews novel passed around like a dirty secret at slumber parties and middle school playgrounds. The grandmother is cruel strict cold and severe looking and controls their behaviour and environment through corporal punishment deprivation judgement authority and humiliation. I haven t read the novel so i don t personally know how it compares to the book.

Parents need to know that flowers in the attic is a drama based on a very popular 1980s pulp novel about a family whose children are locked in an attic by a scary mother and grandmother.

What hunger games and twilight are for millennials the dollanganger series was for girls who grew up in the 80s and 90s. It s certainly not a film for everyone it deals with some very disturbing themes but it is an effective movie box office. Flowers in the attic has elements of dark fairy tale. The rags to riches story appealed to our fantasy the brother sister incest made it verboten.

The kids then try to keep their spirits high in spite of their bleak situation. Incest is a major theme since the children are a product of it and the older siblings eventually become intimate though only kissing is visible. Cathy with her long flowing blonde hair is reminiscent of rapunzel or a princess locked up in a dark tower. Now this film was re shot and re edited without the directors approval.

Flowers both the book and the new movie is completely absurd if you want to gauge the absurdity just know that one of the darkest secrets in the narrative involves a doughnut but somehow. The book has much more of an icky cringe factor than jerry or jeremy where the salacious details are part of the entertainment of fifteen minutes of the tackiest loudest and most violent people on tv.
