Though ellen burstyn s character in this film is flat due too direction and writing ellen burstyn s performance reflects a honed actor at her finest.
Flowers in the attic 2014 film review.
You don t connect with the characters in this one.
The adults in this movie are terrifying and evil.
Instead they are just there doing their acting bit.
Flowers both the book and the new movie is completely absurd if you want to gauge the absurdity just know that one of the darkest secrets in the narrative involves a doughnut but somehow.

Andrews popular and creepy 1979 novel flowers in the attic gets no favors from the scriptwriters in this latest adaptation.
Since the plot features a family who locks up and then tries to kill the family s children positive messages are in short supply.
Lifetime has been doing some wicked business lately.
A few weeks back lizzie borden was the primary focus and now we re getting a look at one of the most vile selfish self absorbed mothers ever given creation.
They ll get that but not much more from this lackluster.
