It should have stayed a secret.

Despite some emotionally mature themes and a decent sense of atmosphere, 'The Secret Garden (2020)' feels relatively uninspired and lifeless. It isn't particularly engaging and its protagonist is somewhat abrasive (abrasive by design but abrasive nevertheless). It does have some strong set-design; the eponymous garden is lavish and bright, contrasting nicely with the drab yet grand mansion that acts as its counterpoint. The performances are all decent (although the main male character is actually rather annoying) and the ending does a good job of tying all the subtext together. It's not a terrible experience, but it isn't exactly good, either. It just sort of unfolds in front of you, only occasionally getting you involved with its narrative. It's just about passable, but I wouldn't really recommend it. 4/10

So disappointed

If you have read the book, then prepare to be disappointed This doesn't do the book justice at all. The deviation from the original story lost everything that was special about the book.

If you haven't read the book then it's possible you may like this film, but if you are a fan of the book then avoid this film at all costs.

Tolerable

Recently orphaned Mary is sent from a life of bossy luxury to live at the decrepit stately home of a never-seen uncle who she didn't know she had. There are secrets in the household, and secrets in the grounds, and Mary gradually begins tomdiscover them. They are, for the most part, not happy secrets.

I have not read the novel and, although I saw the 1993 film and, perhaps, one of the BBC serialisations, that has largely escaped my memory. Accordingly, I am not making comparisons, I am considering the film entirely on its own.

It is a story about loss and grief, friendship and hope, healing and redemption, set in a mixture of gloomy reality and highly coloured fantasy, with just a hint of ghost storybsprinkled on top. The performers all play well, the film is handsomely mounted, and the story resolves satisfactorily if a little peremptorily.

The colourblind casting of Dickon and Martha didn't worry me, although I felt it was probably a little unlikely. And there was a distinct element of "And then they were free" to the ending.

But, overall, this was an agreeable film.
