MCT:August 22, 2008Que hermoso cuento! Que gran sensibilidad la de Alfonso Cuaron para contarnos esta historia desde el punto de vista de una niña, su coneccion con la camara como siempre es refrescante, esta es una muestra de cuan buena es la union con el talento de Emmanuel Lubezky, esta fue su primera nominacion al Oscar y es totalmente justificada, el es uno de los top-cinematografos trabajando hoy en dia, la paleta de colores que trabajo con Cuaron es hermosa, al parecer esta es la etapa verde de AC, junto con Great Espectations. La direccion de arte y el vestuario tambien merecen que sean mencionados, las actuaciones son muy buenas especialmente de las niñas que hacen a Sarah y a Becky, como la de la niña gordita y la directora. La historia es hermosa, connovedora, es una gran adaptacion, 8.5/10.-

Nice feelgood, magical, childhood movie. Complete with hollywood ending. See with the eyes of a child.

MCT:May 21, 2008Liesel Matthews should have continued to act after this film and had an illustrious career. What happened to her? She disappeared, and this film only hints at what could have been. Ah, well. Speaking of Matthews, by the time she screams out "I AM A PRINCESS! ALL GIRLS ARE!" I'm on the verge of crying right along with her. The best parts of the film though are the Indian stories she shares with her English schoolmates. They're brightly colored and look like the tapestries and fabrics of India. Although, the best individual image might be the floating black balloon that pops in front of her when she learns that her father has died, it's terribly poetic.

MCT:May 5, 2008cuaron logra un gran film con este clasico de la literatura que lo retrata de una forma inocente y honesto lo cual le da un valor de produccion maravilloso. es un cuento de hadas que muestra lo atroz del ser humano en contraste con la ilusion de crecer y creer.

A lovely film directed by Alfonso Cuaron.
This film touches your heart with superb acting by a convincing Liesel Matthews who tells her imaginative stories to overcome hardships.
This is an inspiring film that will leave you thought-provoked long after it has finished.
Complimented by beautiful music and script Alfonso Cuaron has created an astonishing film suitable for all ages.
Highly reccomended. -

I'd almost feel bad for her except for the fact that I'll bet her lost wealth was gained by beating it out of the Indian slaves somewhere along the line. Poor little rich girl.

MCT:March 13, 2008The crying moment in this movie for me was near-end part where Sarah escaped from Mrs. Minchin as she walked through the log and she nearly fall. And then, as she was hiding at another house, a man came to her. To her surprise, it was her father, alive but lost his memory. As she was being taken by the police, she kept calling her father but he doesn't remember Sarah. After a few moments, he recalls. And he loudly called Sarah, his daughter. And they hugged. Such a moment.

MCT:March 8, 2008I loved the original. you can't get a newer version that is better than that. i don't want to see this one especially for that reason. the older version has all the beauty and magic you could ever need.

I love this movie and the novel. Even the old movie from 1933 I had watched that one , too. I loved it! I am watching A little Princess right now. If I had to watch any movie over another one I would choose this one over any of them.

Beautiful story, especially loved the line "every girl is a princess". Truth in every word. :) The minus is the hag.

i am actually in the stage adaption of the play as miss minchin at rocky mountain theater for kids, and in the end of the play, sarah's father is still dead, and she ends up going off with her dad's best friend. i was a little dissapointed when i read through the script and found out that her dad isnt really alive like in the movie.
