Review of The Moth Diaries (2011) by Pete S — 08 Nov 2012

First off, the reviewers that say this movie doesn't make sense must be idiots. This is a well crafted movie that have very clear plot, decent character development, good dialogue, good direction and acting, great cast.

This is basically a vampire tale set at a girl's boarding school (complete with lesbian overtones). The is a great setting and the building and campus are really beautiful as are all of the young actresses in this movie.

There's the "girl who knows but no one will believer her" element here, but it's not overdone and is pretty believable. Lily Cole plays the dark character and is really good in that role; her unconventional good looks accent the role perfectly.

Sarah Gadon is believable and sympathetic in the lead role. This movie is not violent and not very bloody but was well acted and entertaining.
