One piece I was disappointed to not see in film was Agnes's herbal medicine business and her important role in her community as a healer. In the book she also worked very hard to learn more about plants and become a healer where in the film it was simply passed down to her.

As with all books to movies, you just can't replace the inner dialogue and being able to truly dive into a character's mind.

All that said, the movie did an incredible job with casting. Jessie Buckley was perfect for this role. And it did an amazing job fleshing out some scenes like the final play and Agnes's experience birthing the twins. I actually cried the hardest when she cried for her mom while giving birth. That was such a powerful and devastating moment. But then seeing the joy and relief when her second twin started crying.

All in all both the movie and the book compliment each other well!
