    "Every girl everwhere is a princess."

    A young girl is relegated to servitude at a boarding school when her father goes missing and is presumed dead.

    REVIEW

    Almost but not quite in the same lea...( read more)gue as The Secret Garden, another great (and highly recommended) Warner Bros. adaptation of a Frances Hodgson Burnett novel, this film nonetheless is none too shabby. It truly is a jewel, inspiring plenty of emotions without being manipulative or cutesy. Instead, it's just enchanting. Liesel Matthews is very good and very believeable as young Sara, Eleanor Bron a dimensional villain, (just as Maggie Smith's housekeeper was in TSG), and other performers fine, as well. I dare you not to cry when Sara's up in the attic crying for her papa or when (Spoiler!) he regains his memory and calls out to her. Sumptuous filming of the scenes in India and the transformed attic, with all that food and those gifts... Perfect for the whole family, and not just for kids. Rent it along with The Secret Garden, and you have got a great night of family entertainment. The kids will be enthralled, no doubt about that, but you'll be entertained, too.

    I'm many are not aware this film was directed by Alfonso Cuarón. After seeing the film, this should be obvious. The cinematography is sumptuous and the story line is classic and moving.
