I collect/watch films that have been adapted from book, whatever the genre so next on my list was The Moth Diaries. I enjoyed the book and finished it yesterday, then decided to watch the film.
In my opinion, the movie remained true to the book, apart from being set in modern day, which the book was not. I liked the look of the film and I thought the acting was decent throughout. Personally I think the main characters could have been developed more throughout the film than they were.
I think that anyone watching this film might not appreciate the full story as told in the book - I know that the story has to unfold within the usual 90 mins or so - but I feel that having just read the book before watching the film, made things a bit more coherent or me. Another viewer coming straight to the this film without having read the book, may struggle to make sense of some of some of it.It is is no way a bad film, just a bit disjointed in places.
