Review of Jasper Jones (2017) by Joel A — 03 Mar 2017

I guess it's unfair to compare live productions to film adaption but I can't emphasize enough how moving & engaging the play was but upon viewing the film I did not have the same experience.

It's well cast & production values are good but it just didn't expand on characters as much as the live production.

I was genuinely engaged in the film & it's a terrific story & mystery. May appeal to those who are foreign to the subject matter.
