What a freaking movie. So many twists and turns. Absolutely intense from start to finish.

Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

The Series surfers in a lot of ways. A lot due to the source material.20th century characters thrown into a period setting. There is simply no way Nella would get over the hand she has been delt. Not in four months. The title character. An elusive magical "miniaturist" who's character doesn't deliver. She was just observing what she saw around her... A thoroughly depressing climax. Production values seemed poor in comparison to what we have become used to. I was very surprised to learn they had filmed in the Netherlands. Some hammy editing and direction. Maybe the most distracting element for me was Giving Dutch characters regional east end London acents. It completely took away from the story. Not worth watching

It's as if Rembrandt and Vermeer have come to life. It's an engaging story beautifully told. I could go season 2.

Very good series a lot going on in two episodes... which makes you glue to the screen

I agree with the reviewer below who said that the miniaturist served nothing. If the core of everything is the miniaturist (not the miniatures !), the film could be titled as "the miniaturist"; while the core of the film is the girl Nella! Why isn't it called "Nella and her myserious miniatures" or something like that? I've never read the book, so I'm not saying about the book; Watching the film. when I first saw Nella (who seemed quite center-character like) I thought SHE was the miniaturist (because the title is The Miniaturist) but then oh no the miniaturist is just a mysterious girl served nothing.
On the other hand, Nella is strong and not religion-baffled like Marin(though she is sort of a feminist too). The characters are charming, though Johannes is really dumb-like (while Frans is played rather convincingly here).
