Picnic at Hanging Rock: TV Review

The original article can be found here.

The main points of the article include:

The Amazon version is a 'simmering nightmare drenched in lush color.'
This Miranda is a 'coltish, free-spirited tomboy.'
This Marion is a mixed-race girl, part aborigine, who most likely would never have been allowed into the 1900 school of the original novel and movie.
There is a 'climate of sadistic punishment' in this version. This is centered around Sara.
The scenes of Michael and Albert are 'rippling with homoerotic undertones.'
The production values are 'sumptuous.'
