Jul 21, 2018It was hard for me to decide on a score for this mini-series. It certainly is beautiful to watch with gorgeous sets and costumes and great cinematography. However, the story is too drawn out over six episodes and thus dilutes the dramatic impact that was so well-achieved in the Peter Weir movie. Consequently, I decided on a 7. It is worth seeing if only for the visuals.

Picnic at Hanging Rock is the sapphic, David Lynch-influenced mystery-thriller that you didn’t know you needed.

The mystical elements of Lindsay’s book remain, but Mrs. Appleyard’s more detailed biography adds more tangible, flesh-and-blood danger to the mix. ... The question in the series becomes less about how the girls disappeared than why. Whether they’re vaporized by a shift in the magnetic field, transformed into animals, or something more mundane, their vanishing feels deliberate--a way to reject their prescribed futures for a different, freer path.

In the end, neither the lush looks nor committed performances are enough to overcome the balance issues and general bloat.
