This Anne is real flesh and blood, utterly credible. So believable. I loved her interpretation of these familiar scenes, no histrionic over-acting. I couldn't give it 10 stars because I'm so very tired of Martin Sheen and wish they hadn't cast him. Of course the Megan Follows series is a classic; and I also saw Anne with an E (found her so distracting, cartoon characterish). But Elizabeth Ballentine as Anne of Green Gables was inspired re-telling.
