Ratings and reviews

Without doubt Enid is a controversial movie because the complex personality of the writer's character and life. But, indeed, is a very interesting story over one of the most prolific writers in the world. Many generations of children around the world have been read her books and the new ones continue reading them nowadays. A sweet journey to the nostalgia and a fair tribute.

hbc did a very beautiful job here, it shows you her real excellent performance. i'm a fan of her but i completely hated her for being enid from the bottom of my heart! as a writer, enid did an amazing job for our childhood. but as mother, wife and member of her own family... she failed.

I've always loved Enid Blyton's books and they made a book about her!
