Blu-ray Review: Startlingly Amateurish ‘The Moth Diaries’ Fails to Frighten
Submitted by mattmovieman on August 29, 2012 - 8:55amCHICAGO – Sarah Bolger is a truly lovely actress. She delivered one of the best child performances of all time in Jim Sheridan’s 2002 family drama, “In America,” and over the last decade, has blossomed into a real screen beauty. Hopefully it will only be a matter of time before the actress starts getting offered projects more worthy of her abilities. No one this lovely should be sentenced to a film as dreary as “The Moth Diaries.”
