Full Plot Details

Anne, now a middle-aged woman, is troubled by recent events in her life. Her husband, Gilbert, has been killed overseas as a medical doctor during World War II. Her two daughters are pre-occupied with their own young families and her adopted son Dominic has yet to return from the war. When a long-hidden secret is discovered under the floorboards at Green Gables, Anne retreats into her memories to relive her troubled early years prior to arriving as an orphan at Green Gables and being adopted by the Cuthberts. Still haunted by her early childhood, the impact of this difficult period has a far-reaching effect on this older woman, once she discovers the truth about her real parents. She begins a delicate search for her birth father. It is a journey through a past fraught with danger, uncertainty, heartache and joy. In the parade of humanity Anne encounters she also faces the root of her desire to find true "kindred spirits", an inspired imagination and the impetus to use her talents as a writer to inspire others.

Movie Reviews

User Review - 6/10 by Amanda CWhile not the best, most faithful adaption of Anne, it captures some of the heart of the original tale. Any book lovers will recognize revamped scenes from the novel, and will be furious at Sullivan for creating a fictional account of Anne's father, Walter Shirley. The movie was charming without being wonderful.
User Review - 6/10 by Sanford RI think some Anne fans will like this, but I believe most will be disappointed. I am surprised by the overall tone and heaviness of the storyline because I expected this to be a more lighthearted film in order to capture a new generation of young viewers, but I found this to be a more mature storyline compared to the original miniseries that most young people wouldn't get and may be turned off by. Overall though, I found this was a solid film, but not something I'd really want to watch over again. Their casting of the young Anne was a good one, though the young actress seems more suited for the stage than the small screen.
User Review - 6/10 by jennifer gI loved all of the other movies, so this prequel was an unexpected treat, but it did not exactly live up to the other ones in my opinion. I was sad that this movie did not include my beloved Gilbert, and left so many unanswered questions, but it was still quite good overall and it was nice to see how Anne Shirley became Anne of Green Gables! The story reminded me a bit of 'Jane Eyre' and 'North & South' mixed together. Also, it's too bad that Megan Follows couldn't play the older Anne in this movie, I guess she was too young, but aging make-up could have been an option, oh well...
User Review - 4/10 by Melissa KI'm such a great fan of L.M. Montgomery's novels that I can't really forgive some of the liberties that Sullivan took with the original stories. That said, this is still fairly decent. I would have preferred to see Megan Follows as Anne rather than Barbara Hershey but Hannah Endicott-Douglas did a pretty good job as Young Anne. I loved the little cameo by Patricia Hamilton as Mrs. Lynde.
User Review - 2/10 by Tracey MFirst of all, whose bright idea was it to kill off Gilbert Blythe?! That's just WRONG. That being said, there's nothing particularly awful about this film (great scenery, solid acting), though the story is convoluted and jumps around a bit much for my taste...so long as you can get over the glaring omission of the title character herself. I don't blame Sullivan for wanting to return to magical Avonlea, but he really should've changed the names and called the film something else entirely. Even "The Continuing Story" (Part 3) was tolerable and that was only because Megan Follows and Jonathan Crombie returned as Anne and Gil (their reunion scene in war-torn Europe was nearly enough to make me forgive the film's deviation from the books). If they wanted to continue the thread from Part 3, they would've been better off with a loose adaptation of "Rilla of Ingleside", the final book of the Anne stories which focuses on her children. My single biggest problem with this story is that it re-writes history: Anne Shirley is an orphan, it's a fact that shapes her indelibly. Her parents died of fever when she was a baby and she later revisits their old home (in Anne of the Islands). Anne has no memory of her parents though she loves them dearly and subsequently names two of her children after them (Walther Cuthbert and Bertha Marilla Blythe if memory serves). She does not, as this film suggests, make up the story that she is an orphan (Walter Shirley did not indirectly kill his wife in a wagon accident and become a guilt-ridden absentee father). Anne was imaginative, yes, but she was not a liar. It's also out of character and very difficult to believe that Marilla Cuthbert would ever hide Walter Shirley's letters from Anne. As it is, this installment is Anne fan fiction minus Anne and minus the magic. Perhaps someone with lesser attachment to L.M. Montgomery's Anne Shirley Blythe can appreciate "A New Beginning". Unfortunately, I could not.
