Handmaid's Tale on Encore in five minutes....
Just came into their rotation of movies...

A sobering look at what would happen if Right Wing Christians succeed in taking over the US.

2. I've heard such good things about this movie...
Is it better to read the book first?

6. Margaret Atwood is brilliant. Either order, your read of the book will not suffer.

4. I liked the book much better than the movie.
But that's just one opinion.

8. Both scared the hell out of me.
The book however was just scarier-and had more of an impact. Still the movie as a good adaption of it.
