Editorial Reviews

A privileged, free-spirited young girl tries to adapt to life in a strict boarding school in this charming, critically acclaimed children's fantasy. Adapting a novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett, also the author of The Secret Garden, the film shifts the story's setting to World War I. 10 year-old Sara Crewe (Liesel Matthews) has been left in a respected New York City boarding school while her British father heads overseas to fight. Filled with wild stories and a playful attitude, the unconventional Sara becomes popular amongst her classmates but quickly comes into conflict with the harsh headmistress, Miss Minchin (Eleanor Bron), who attempts to quash the child's individuality. The young girl's situation takes a serious turn for the worse when she unexpectedly receives word of her father's death, and, suddenly impoverished, is forced into life as a servant. Treated as a lesser class of person by her former companions, Sara instead befriends her fellow servants and turns to the power of imagination in order to maintain hope for the future. In addition to changing the story's setting, screenwriters Richard LaGravenese and Elizabeth Chandler add a layer of Indian mythology to the tale, allowing director Alfonso Cuaron the chance to punctuate the riches-to-rags fable with a series of lush, imaginative fantasy sequences. Though A Little Princess had difficulty attracting audiences during its initial run, its visual splendor and touching storytelling were praised by many critics, several of whom proclaimed the film one of the best family-oriented productions of its time.

Alright, but...by Anonymous

September 16, 2006: I read the book and I absulutely loved it. But then I saw the movie. The actors were great, the costumes were good, beaututiful scenery...but they really changed the story around. I thoguht the girl who played Sara was a good enough actress but her as Sara was wrong. In the book Sara was said to have green eyes and long, black hair. Well, as you can see this girl does not have black hair. Anyhow, I think it was a very good family movie but for those who like the real story I suggest you see the BBC version instead.

Awesome movie!by Anonymous

June 29, 2006: I really liked this movie a lot. You see, I've read the book, and when there was a movie out, I got anxious to see it. I saw it, and I cried, I laughed, I just loved it! When I was reading the book, it made everything sound so beautiful, even the ugly parts, and when I saw the movie, the producers definitely put the brutatlity in realtity. But, it was an awesome movie, and I would recommend it to "classie lovers"
