Title: Child's play
Product review: Sometimes you need art explained to you, and maybe that's why I had a mixed reaction to the film MATILDA. It did not bore me, that's for sure. I thought child actor Mara Wilson did a great job in the title role. Were the filmmakers telling the story through the point of view and imagination of a little kid? That would explain why this adult had trouble understanding MATILDA. Growing up helps you forget some of the confusion and pain - as well as free spirit - we all probably had in childhood. My favorite scene: Matilda's dance to "Little Bitty Pretty One," because through all that turmoil, she's making her life what she wants it to be.
