TV Movie

1h 22m

Illuminating and surprising drama telling the story of arguably the most popular children's storyteller of all, Enid Blyton. It reveals how Blyton became the writer who would capture more youthful imaginations than anyone else, following her career from ambitious, driven and as yet unpublished young woman to household name and moral guardian, while glimpsing her own childhood - a dark time, far from the carefree, happy idyll portrayed in her books.

One-sidedness in a biopic can never be a good thing, but particularly when the film opens with a disclaimer stating that "some scenes have been invented [...] for the purposes of the narrative". It just left me wondering which scenes were invented and for what purpose; to exaggerate Blyton's flaws even more? I know little about Blyton's private life, but I struggle to believe anyone could be as abhorrent as the person portrayed here. It feels like a mean-spirited character assassination.
