    That was an excellent one.

    I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

    This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

    There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

    The most authentic and down-to-earth characters I ever saw in a drama .

    This movie was a huge disappointment for me. I have been a big fan of Lucy Maud Montgomery's Anne of Green Gables since my childhood, but the movie fell short of my expectations... The characters were more or less okay, but I am not satisfied with the theatrical play, their gestures, their talking and so on. The movie was shallow and slow, Anne was very nerve-trying and annoying instead of cute and musing, besides the Prince Edward Island is a much more beautiful place, than it is depicted here. Maybe my expectations were too high, because in my imagination this story was very different from this movie. In my opinion, the high rating points are caused by infatuated fans of Anne, whom are almost irrelevant the quality of the movie, just have a cinematization of it.

    This 1985 Anne of Green Gables has always been one of my all-time favourites. I love the book also, and while I am the kind of person who watches an adaptation on its own merits while sometimes suggesting what could have been done instead, I found this adaptation to be true in detail and spirit to the book. The adaptation looks beautiful, lush scenery, beautiful but never idealistic costumes and photography are definite things to like, as well as the charming lilting score. The script has its fair share of droll and heart-warming moments, and the story is still the one I know and love, timeless, thought-provoking and simply beautiful. The pacing I found perfect, I personally never found it flat, then again I was so entranced in everything else I would have overlooked it. The acting I can't fault, Megan Follows is a wonderful actress and her Anne is always likable. Jonathan Crombie also embodies the role of Gilbert, Collette Dewhurst's performance is a perfect blend of hard and soft and Richard Farnsworth is a charming Matthew. In conclusion, amazing, was a favourite, still is and always will be. 10/10 Bethany Cox

    I simply love this movie. I first saw it with my mother when I was about 8 or 9, and we both fell in love. Kevin Sullivan takes such care into recreating Avonlea. He's created a whole majestic universe, and you feel like you are a member. When a character has done something good and people in the movie applaud, you feel like applauding with them. I have resisted many times the urge to cry, laugh, and cheer while watching this movie. The actors are fantastic. Megan Follows is brilliant, and she really embodies what Anne is all about. Jonathan Crombie as Gilbert is also amazing. I can watch this movie over and over again. I also like that it stays very true to the novel, with little differences here and there to make it more dramatic and make it flow easily, but it doesn't feel butchered. I would definitely recommend this movie to anyone.
