Movie Reviews

Orlando Sentinel - 10/10 by Jay BoyarThis metaphor-movie is both touching and tasteful. It allows Foster to play scared and alone, traumatised and neurotic, and, most importantly, free and inspirational.
Chicago Sun-Times - 8/10 by Roger EbertDespite its predictable philosophy, however, Nell is an effective film, and a moving one. That is largely because of the strange beauty of Jodie Foster's performance as Nell, and the warmth of the performance by Liam Neeson, as a doctor who finds himself somehow responsible for her.
ReelViews - 8/10 by James BerardinelliIt is difficult to deny Nell's intelligence and sensitivity. We approach this story with the same fascination that Nell faces each day, seeing, if only for a short time, how different the world -- and people -- can be.
Tampa Bay Times - 8/10 by Steve PersallBy the end, the pieties of Nell fall into place all too neatly.
PopcornQ - 7/10 by Brandon JudellNell's bell knells when her stroke-victim mother drops dead at the beginning of the film.
EmanuelLevy.Com - 7/10 by Emanuel LevySomber, ponderous, and pretentious, this is a clinical study of a wild woman (Jodie Foster) raised in the backwoods, far from the interference and contamination (according to the film) of Civilization. It's better to see Truffaut's Wild Child.
USA Today - 6/10 by Mike ClarkA cocoon of somber self-seriousness envelopes some fine performances and intelligent craftsmanship in Nell.
Los Angeles Times - 5/10 by Kenneth TuranThe strength of Foster’s spooky performance makes Nell more effective and worthwhile than it otherwise deserves to be. And it is just because we come to care about that unusual young woman that we wish she were in a better movie, but that was not to be.
San Francisco Chronicle - 5/10 by Edward GuthmannThe film has a good heart, but its central premise -- that ignorance is an enchanted realm -- is too sentimental.
Miami Herald - 5/10 by Rene RodriguezEven this director and the talents of three wonderful actors can't save this weak script.
