Title: Wish I Hadn't Bothered
Product review: I generally like Marion Zimmer Bradely's books, so I thought a movie based on a book of hers couldn't be too bad. Now I wish I'd just spent the time to read the book and skipped the movie. While watching the movie, I was simply left with the impression of grief, jealous, and basically a lot of hurting people. Though who were manipulated (oh, poor victim me! pity me!) go through the movie setting themselves up for falling again...and again. Those who do the manipulations either feel bad they didn't get what they wanted or feel bad about what they did, but still feel justified (despite it all failing). There is no true hope offered in this movie and only cold comfort if any. I didn't watch the movie to get depressed, but this one sure tried!While the movie obviously wanted you to think that paganism and Catholic Christianity are basically the same, I will note that the one sister who became a nun found forgiveness, but the others never stopped hurting until the day they died.
