Monica Busch Bitch Media Is nearly as endearing as the book itself. Mar 2, 2021 Full Review Chad Jones San Francisco Chronicle There would be a definite after-school special quality to this "Anne" if it weren't so energetically made and filled with such rich performances. Mar 26, 2020 Full Review Heather Hogan Autostraddle Anne With an E doesn't put faith in its audience to understand anything that isn't smashed into its consciousness. Jun 12, 2018 Full Review Rachel Wagner rachelsreviews.net This is the main problem with Anne with an E... unrelenting bleakness. Rated: D Mar 12, 2019 Full Review Laura Finch WORLD Amybeth McNulty is fabulously awkward playing the red-haired adoptee... but it's often hard to find the original Anne amid the extraneous storylines. Nov 16, 2018 Full Review Princess Weekes The Mary Sue Anne with an E takes time to unpack the trauma and loneliness that comes with growing up in terrible orphanages and being in an abusive foster system.

Sheryl R So addictive. Absolutely beautiful videography and super acting. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/07/24 Full Review Li M A dirty, over acted version of the original with overtones of mental illness and violence. The writing is terrible, the story flat and humourless. How in the world anyone could butcher such a beautiful story is a mystery. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/17/24 Full Review Thelma W Amybeth makes me dislike Anne more with every episode. Where as Megan Follows (original Anne) makes you fall more in Love with Anne with every movie or episode..I absolutely love the rest of the cast but Amybeth is NNNOOOO!!!Anne of Green Gables.. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 12/29/23 Full Review Nadine R AWAE was truly enjoyable. You got to experience girlhood with her! Everything! From how it was to have your first best friends, your first crush, the need for a puffy-sleeved dress, hell it even put you through the terrible, excruciatingly embarrassing parts of growing up. Her development was beautiful and seeing her become more confident in herself and her opinions throughout the series is incredible. I highly recommend AWAE, with all my heart. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/03/23 Full Review Greg P There's a thing known a tension and release in story telling. This version of the popular story forgot the release part. It was all a bit too much. By the third episode Anne is in front of a mirror having what appears to be a psychotic break. That's when it lost me. Edgy for the sake of being edgy? Yes. The acting is very good, but that alone couldn't save it, in my mind. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/16/23 Full Review Dan S I love period films. This was too updated and I did not like it at all. I hated it. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 10/06/23 Full Review Read all reviews
