rebeccaonnen 's review for:
Mr. Malcolm's List
by Suzanne Allain
I loved the 2022 film adaptation of this novel, but the book didn't work for me in the same way. Suzanne Allain describes herself as a screenwriter, and Mr. Malcolm's List seems like a perfect affirmation of that description. Most of the movie's dialogue follows the book word for word, but it works on screen because it has all the extra elements of that medium to give it the emphasis it needs. On paper, Allain writes fairly minimally, and therefore leaves out much of the pacing and emotional weight captured on screen.
