Why so much hype?

What a freaking movie. So many twists and turns. Absolutely intense from start to finish.

Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.

The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

Ignore the bad reviews from people who clearly don't know what a good mini series looks like. I really liked this show. Lots of beautiful scenery with some scenes reminding me of a stage play. Very eerie with seemingly factual threads interspersed with elements of the supernatural and sci fi. Natalie Dormer is great as usual and the overall acting is very good. Some found it confusing and it does end in am ambiguous way but then so did the book and film. Loosely based on the real life disappearance of two girls in the 1800s, I'd definitely give this a watch if you're looking for something to kill a few hours.

This isn't just a story. It's not even just a film. This is a very beautiful artistic experience. How else can such a weird tale be told? From the start the viewer is twisted and drawn, cajoled and moulded. Each set piece begins with a statement camera shot, composed and structured to fill the senses and lead us into the scene. The photography moves with the eye of an artist, accompnaied by Cezary Skubiszewski's wonderful music, and we find ourselves in the midst of Monets and Renoirs, the most glorious light and colours, the sumptuous styles of 1900 mixed with high definition gorgeousness. This is the epitome of auteur drama.A completely fresh look at a compelling story, told in a wholly new way. View this as art. See it as a moving work by a landscape master, peopled with beautifully observed characters, jockeying for your attention. It's a feast for the senses, and a marvellous thing to behold. In short, I loved it.

I'm a massive fan of the original film so couldn't wait for this to come out and it has not disappointed me. I've read some of the reviews here and noted that this has not filled expectations for everyone. However, for me, I couldn't wait for the next episode. The story is more detailed than in the original, yes it does drag it out a bit, but I find that all part of the story. Natalie Dormer is so eerily brilliant as Mrs Appleyard - quite equal to Rachel Roberts performance. I could see Natalie playing Nurse Ratched should 'One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest' ever be remade (which I hope it isn't - it's a classic on its own)
The costumes are beautiful as is the filming. If I have a criticism, it's not being able to hear the girls when whispering!
I've thoroughly enjoyed it - just as I enjoyed the original.

When I caught first glimpse of this series, I was definitely interested. Once I began watching it, i fell in love with it. It's a beautiful, artistic, surreal series and experience. It tells so much through not only words but what's spoken through eyes and cinematography. The style is unique and visionary; a truly remarkable piece. I'm very impressed and I wish there was more.
