Movie discussion. Enid. Biography of Enid Blyton with Helena Bonham Carter.
1 hobbit because costumes were nice.
Was very disappointing. So trite. Sounded like a good pitch.
As someone who grew up reading her books I wanted to know about her stories and inspiration. I don't care about her affairs at all and neither does anyone else, as shown by the fact this movie bombed even though it was about one of the worlds most successful authors ( who sold more than 600 million books )
I feel HBC is one of those people who always plays themselves.
I think you're right. She is completely unable to change mannerisms or speech patterns.
even so, imo the problem with the movie was the story.
