7/10
Beautiful but slow
4 August 2023
The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart was an international best seller that has been made into a 7 part mini series, me thinks possibly about 5 episodes too many

The acting is top notch, and the scenery is stunning, but there are way too many moody shots, pauses, musical interludes, knowing looks between people, all those little elements that essentially pad out a series needlessly

Sigourney Weaver is great, as expected, Asher Keddie surprisingly good in a dramatic role, Leah Purcell brilliant, and the great delight is young Alyla Browne

Overwhelmingly my accolades go to the set hairdresser: there are some seriously stunning coiffures on this show.
