Of this latest Anne trilogy, Fire and Dew (daft name aside) is the best of the bunch. Even the dreadfully miscast actor playing Gilbert seems to have picked up some rudimentary acting skills since the first movie. Which is a blessing.
In this third outing, Anne waves goodbye to pokey old Avonlea and sets out for the bright lights of Charlottetown, where she spends most of her time memorising latin prose and avoiding Gilbert Blythe.
Is this new Anne (Ella Ballentine) in the same league as everyone's favourite, Megan Follows? Of course not. But she does fine. Just fine.
Note: This is also the most emotional of the three films, so beware, you may shed a tear.
