A strong average, but not more.
A good average, but nothing more. A maximum of 7/10, with an age stretch. Especially depressing is the finale - too crumpled, without savoring the details and any frightening scenes - and after all, you watch the whole film, anticipating the denouement. And if you evaluate it as a screenplay - and even worse -
The full depth of the fanaticism of Carrie’s mother is not revealed (in the book this perfectly explains her strangeness, persecution and bloody result); the characters of some characters are changed; individual plot twists are changed / cut out; some moments are not really explained and in general everything is too superficial. I do not find fault with the unseen destruction of the entire city - for those years special effects are enough.
The only plus of the film adaptation is the observance of chronology in the narrative. A casual viewer may think that he is watching an ordinary drama, and then on you such a twist at the end.
Well, acting is not bad + on the fashion of those years is always curious to see.
