    Maybe this is one of those films where if you love the book, you'll love the film too. Apparently its a very faithful adaptation so I guess fans of the novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett wont be disappointed. I haven't read the book so I can only comment on the film itself. I think the problem I had with it is that its very hard to care about the exploits of a couple of gratingly posh kids who have the 'misfortune' of having to endure a whole stately home to themselves with the occasional dressing-down from stern-matron-by-numbers Maggie Smith (who actually seems to be the only sympathetic character in the film, which surely wasn't meant to be the case?). It is at least beautifully photographed (you can't go wrong with Roger Deakins) but it really leaves you with very little else...
