Anne With an E Reviews
“Anne With an E captures the winning exuberance of Anne Shirley–who, played by AmyBeth McNulty, is entirely irresistible–while finding some deeper potency in her story. The first two episodes offer a gripping and moving setup for the rest of the season, portraying how Anne, despite improbable odds, persuades the elderly Cuthberts to love her.” ~ Sophie Gilbert, The Atlantic
“Anne with an E is undeniably the most stylish adaptation we’ve ever seen of Anne of Green Gables. But its desire to reveal more of Anne’s miserable past in order to be more true to what the desperation of an orphan is like feels at odds with Montgomery’s story.” ~ Allison Keene, Collider
