A Little Princess Reviews

A wonderful movie today as we waited out Tropical Storm Ernesto
My daughters (4 & 10) wanted to do SOMETHING today... but baking cookies or sewing was too much hassle for ME. They began digging in the DVD cabinet and found this movie unopened. We popped it in the player and spent a wonderful afternoon together watching it. The cinematography was beautiful, the actress playing Sara was just perfect and my girls sat upright watching every moment. The brief scene with her father in war was a bit frightening - so they hid their heads.

They loved all the imaginative stories Sara told and they were disappointed when the movie ended because they wanted MORE. Funny that we have the movie "Annie" in the cabinet too - but I just can't sit through it with all the over-acting by the kids. The Little Princess however was enjoyable even for mom. My 10 year old would have loved this movie as a birthday gift. She already said she wants to watch it again tomorrow.

amazing and breathtaking.
I am rarely moved by a film as I have with this one. This film is fairly flawless with wonderful (not over the top) acting, zgreat wonderful visuals and a poignant adaptation of the novel. Liesel Matthews is just wonderful never going over the top. It would be so easy to camp it up and get that hollywood feel but instead you are drawn into a story of complexity and drama. I can't help but think about Oliver Twist when I see this film but it's a different story altogether. I recall when this first came out and Gene Siskel argued that despite wonderful films like this, everyone complains that no family fair exists. It's out there if you look for it. This is a real gem that sadly tanked in the cinema.
