I’ve loved Kevin Sullivan’s Anne of Green Gables and its sequel Anne of Avonlea for almost twenty years. The two films existed in such perfect harmony that I never felt the need to watch this third part, knowing there were controversies, and despite owning it in the box set. I don’t know why, but I decided to finally give it a shot today, accepting that it wasn’t based on any of L.M. Montgomery’s novels. I had some faith in Kevin Sullivan for creating the two previous films. Boy, was I naive. The plot of this film is ludicrous and cartoony. Never in a million years did I expect to see Anne storming the front lines during World War I looking for Gilbert, but getting caught up in an espionage plot and going undercover as a nun???? This really was like a fanfic on steroids. Don’t even get me started on the pacing, random plot conveniences, chance meetings, Jack Garrison, and Dominic. Disowning this garbage.
