The novel Lessons in Chemistry is one of my favorites. I always have a mix of excitement and trepidation when those books get made into a movie or show but was optimistic about this one.
Despite the changes made, as are always inevitable, I really enjoyed this adaptation! It was brought to life on screen with care. I could feel the meticulous details in the writing of the screenplay the same way I felt them when I read the book. It resonates with the audience well, inspiring hope and the courage to change.
Brie Larson was a solid casting. At times I felt her delivery too stiff or dry (in my mind, Elizabeth Zott had a bit more quirky, ironic comedy to her) but for the most part she did a good job. Her chemistry with Aja Naomi King as Harriet felt palpable and real. One of the more important friendship dynamics I've ever read or seen.
Well done to everyone who worked on this! A really nice offering from Apple TV, very well worth the watch.
