Review of The Secret Scripture (2017) by Andrew Barker for Variety — 10 Sep 2016
A classic case of a literary adaptation capturing the high-gloss trappings of its source without getting a handle on its story or themes, The Secret Scripture is like a nicely decorated Craftsman home built on a foundation of Jell-O, with a toilet where the kitchen sink should be.
It looks nice on first glance, but spend any time there, and things start to get messy.
