A young girl is picked up from a London orphanage and is told the story of her mother's (Moll Flanders) life on the way to the British West Indies.
Based on reviews collected by Rotten Tomatoes, Moll Flanders currently has a 47% approval rating from critics. A problem many critics had was with the movie largely throwing out the original Defoe story and structuring it like Forrest Gump (in which Wright was prominently featured). While the original book was about a woman's struggle to survive a male dominated era (the early 17th century) and her turning to illegal actions to make it through (stealing, prostitution among other means), the movie dealt with Moll's working on herself and improving her life.
Roger Ebert gave the movie three stars and said of the film "it's an original; Densham took only the name, the period, and a few notions from Defoe, and has made up the rest."
The International Press Academy nominated Moll Flanders for four awards: Robin LESS
