theshiftyshadow 's review for:

Picnic at Hanging Rock by Joan Lindsay
4.25
dark mysterious tense slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

This is all atmosphere, minimal plot. And I loved it.

I think I knew coming into this what the outcome would be, so I was prepared for that and wasn't disappointed. 

I was initially curious about how the recent-ish mini series is like 5 or 6 hours long, but there's so many blank spaces with this story that someone clearly had a field day filling those blanks in.
