Movie Reviews

Nitrate Online - 10/10 by Dan LybargerA truly captivating children's film that never got its due in the theaters.
Boston Globe - 10/10 by Jay CarrAn astonishing work of studio artifice, A Little Princess is that rarest of creations, a children's film that plays equally well to kids and adults.
The Globe and Mail (Toronto) - 9/10 by Rick GroenCuaron approaches the film not as a fairy tale for children, but a work of magic realism. And perhaps best of all, he doesn't talk down to young folks, in the audience or in the cast. The performances are as natural as skinned knees and missing teeth.
Antagony & Ecstasy - 9/10 by Tim BraytonOne of the very best children's movies of the past quarter-century.
Los Angeles Times - 9/10 by Kenneth TuranDirector Alfonso Cuaron, in his first American movie, has fashioned a world so real and so engaging that you can feel it and smell it and taste it as surely as if you were there.
Spirituality and Practice - 9/10 by Frederic and Mary Ann BrussatEnchanting drama based on a children's classic.
rec.arts.movies.reviews - 9/10 by Mark R. LeeperMexican director Alfonso Cuaron gives the film a nice feel for a New York girls' school of the time (though actually the novel was set in an English girls' school).
Combustible Celluloid - 9/10 by Jeffrey M. AndersonPurely innocent, whimsical, and imaginative.
Chicago Sun-Times - 9/10 by Roger EbertCuaron's version of magic realism consists of seeing incredibly fanciful sets and situations in precise detail, and Johnson has provided him with the freedom and logistical support to create such places as the street where Miss Minchin's school looms so impressively.
ReelViews - 8/10 by James BerardinelliTo be sure, A Little Princess has a few missteps. For one thing, Miss Minchin could have been played with less villainy, but younger viewers will probably appreciate the one-dimensional nastiness. There are also a few moments of overt sweetness, but these are easily forgiven. Actually, there's very little this movie has to apologize for -- it's the rare kind of picture that can be enjoyed by viewers of eight, eighteen, and eighty.
