NETFLIX'S adaptation of All the Light We Cannot See has been slammed as a 'terrible mess' and 'ghastly failure' despite star studded cast.<\/p>\n
The historical drama, which is based on a Pulitzer Prize\u2013winning book, features Mark Ruffalo and\u00a0Hugh Laurie. <\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
Rising stars Aria Mia Loberti and Louis Hofmann from Germany also feature. <\/p>\n
The novel, All the Light We Cannot See, did sensationally well after it was published in 2014. <\/p>\n
Written by American author Anthony Doerr, the war story was applauded his lyrical writing style.<\/p>\n
It was a massive commercial success, leading to dozens of reprints after the initial print run sold out.\u00a0 <\/p>\n
As of late 2021, the book has sold more than 15 million copies.<\/p>\n It was awarded the 2015 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, and that year's\u00a0Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Fiction.<\/p>\n The new Netflix series has stayed true to the story as it followed two opposing characters, a blind French girl and a German youth who becomes a soldier due to his skill with radio technology.<\/p>\n Set in the World War II, the young soldier has been conscripted against his will and is tasked with locating the source of her broadcasts.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n However, the series (directed by Shawn Levy) failed to impress critics even with the anticipation and fan buzz surrounding its premiere. <\/p>\n The Guardian's\u00a0Lucy Mangan said the show had\u00a0"all the subtlety of "Allo, 'Allo!" whereas\u00a0Michael Hogan hit out at the "sanitised" adaptation for\u00a0The Telegraph.<\/p>\n The Independent's Nick Hilton branded the series a "shonky, star-studded dud" and slammed the viewing for its "tweeification of horror." <\/p>\n Radio Times' Morgan Cormack felt that it fell into the trap of telling, rather than showing the emotional impact of the stories.<\/p>\n She said: "The series suffers from bouts of lengthy dialogue and discussions of things we should really be seeing for ourselves."<\/p>\n All the Light We Cannot See is available to stream on Netflix from Thursday 3rd November.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/picture>KILLER LOVE <\/span><\/p>\n
