The Thirteenth Tale (2013 TV Movie)
5/10
Great landscapes, poor script in the movie compared to the book

I don't get why so many people rate that movie with 10 an so, perhaps they didn't read the book before.

Movie's script is poorly absolutely reinvented and runs very fast into the main secret facts of the story that in the book you have to find out for yourself, where wich ones are told in a very explicit manner in the movie, breaking out the mistery atmosphere around the whole story... Even changing things that doesn't exist or are told on a different manner on the book and jumps put to another important plot on the story (Aurelius). I understand that in a movie based on a book you cannot told all the details but probably they couldn't use a script better written.

Very disappointed with that movie. I just read the book, fall in love with the story and find out there exist a movie so I wanted to continue immerse in that beautiful story told in the book written by Diane Setterfield.

Anyway, best thing of the movie are landscapes, great, beautiful and stunned England landscapes and some scenes and house are exactly as I could imagine reading the book.

One point to keep in mind, in the book sisters are red-haired with sharp GREEN eyes, not blue, and there exist quite physical differences between them, despite being twins that are not shown in the movie and it is not told until the very end there are not only a pair girls, neither the sociopath personality, that's something you have to conclude for yourself as well as another things.
