Critic Reviews
-
Susan Wloszczyna, USA Today
With her sweet-sad face, Mara Wilson is a perfect Matilda.
-
M. Faust, Common Sense Media
Offbeat fantasy gem, but too dark for young kids.
-
Brent Simon, Now Playing Magazine
Rare amongst children's films in that it's as much cathartic fun for adults as it is a sheer, silly adrenaline jolt for youngsters.
-
Scott Weinberg, DVDTalk.com
Not awful and certainly not great, Matilda is a strange little flick, but that's not to say your 9-year-old daughter won't get a solid kick out of it.
-
Rob Thomas, Capital Times (Madison, WI)
DeVito gleefully preserves Dahl's dark comic tone, which should delight both kids and parents.
