Matilda

Matilda Wormwood is an exquisite and intelligent little girl. Unfortunately, her parents, Harry and Zinnia misunderstand her because they think she is so different. As time passes, she finally starts school and has a kind teacher, loyal friends, and a sadistic headmistress. As she gets fed up with the constant cruelty, she begins to realize that she has a gift of telekinetic powers. After some days of practice, she suddenly turns the tables to stand up to Harry and Zinnia and outwit the headmistress.

You don't understand how much this movie means to me. You can grow up to be anything, family is earned, and imagination and learning is power. This movie is so innocent and pure and about being your true self above all else. And it makes me happy.

I have watched this movie on repeat since I was a child, I am sure I pissed my mother off in doing so. I will never tire of the innocence, the purity, and the adventure of this movie. Danny DeVito is a wonderful and magical human for not only fighting for this movie, but doing such a magical job as director and narrator. Thank you for my childhood joy.

An excellent kid's film. Lots of fun. Exaggerated film work that keeps it grounded in Matilda's reality while at the same time making anything seem possible. Great characters and excellent acting.

Unarguably one of the best films ever made.

This classic film based on the book by Roald Dahl is a childhood classic. Growing up in the 90s this was one of my go-to films. I loved how Matilda was a very clever child who supported learning (something I was really drawn to.) Yet there was still a taste of magic in there too.

Snap! This one's going to my cringe compilation.

A fun little movie. It was adorable, I loved the cheesy 90s editing and tropes, it just adds to the atmosphere. Recommended!

An absolutely brilliant movie for the whole family. The brilliant performance from Danny DeVito but also from Mara Wilson make this modern fairytale work. It is a wonderful story about a misunderstood child that lives in a horrible environment at home and at school. Entertainment at its best.

Smart and clever, but slightly disturbing to see children in peril.
