Anne of Green Gables: The Good Stars

2017 · 87 min

A gentle, nostalgic coming-of-age story with warm humour and earnest emotion, easy to watch and comforting.

Overview
When Anne Shirley turns 13, she faces complex issues with her friends, inspirational adults and Marilla and Matthew. At the same time, she begins a friendship with Gilbert Blythe that emotionally escalates to disrupt the status quo of her peaceful world. Her free-spirited nature is challenged by her perceived need to become sensible, and her journey toward this goal is fraught with confusion and more than a few unfortunate – albeit, amusing - mishaps.
