Nell

Pros: Foster, a talent of the highest caliber
Cons: ....

A haunting and thought provoking tale of a girl/woman growing up alone in the backwoods of North Carolina. Discovered after a store owner delivers groceries and finds the body of Nell's mother lying on the floor, she is suddenly thrust into a spotlight...

Pros: none
Cons: everything about the flick

I love Jodie Foster as an actor, but I hate her film "Nell". If there is a hell and I am sent there, all the Devil has to do is force me to watch this noisy, mediocre movie over and over throughout eternity. I respect Liam Neeson as an actor...

Pros: Very emotional
Cons: very emotional

Moonmoods has the right to his opinion on Nell, but I happen to disagree. Nell is a very sensitive story about a young girl who was raised outside the civilized world. When her grandmother who raised her dies she is forced into the civilized world....

Pros: Amazing acting, great story line and plot
Cons: Can be hard to follow for some

Jodie Foster's starring role in this sleeper hit is the best work of her career. The emotional highs and lows of this character would be difficult for many other actresses to portray, but Foster not only manages, she excels.

I first saw this...

Pros: great storyline, beautifull scenery.
Cons: I didnt want it to end.

I saw this movie about 3-4 years ago and its remained to be in my top 10 list. Beautifull scenery, filmed in Nort Carolina, its a great story of a girl raised by a hermit mother in the middle of the woods without any sort of "civilized"...

Pros: intelligent film that has something to say..if you listen
Cons: none

Nell is a highly intelligent film that makes a person think about themselves in a different way.
If not...then you need to really listen in to what she says in the court room.

Ms. Foster has always been my favorite actress since...

Pros: Story line, cast, scenery, music, everything
Cons: Didn't last long enough.

WOW, what else can be said about such a wonderful movie. Jodie Foster played a very tough role and did it with flair. Very believable and mind-boggling. This shows what rough living and being secluded are really about. I couldn't imagine living...

Pros: Nothing.
Cons: Everything.

As we near the end of the millenium, but also the end of the decade, perhaps we should look back and try to discern some overall pattern that emerged from the films we've watched and loved -- or despised -- over the past ten...

Pros: made with integrity
Cons: some nudity

Not many modern films leave the audience sitting in silence at the end. But when Nell came to its conclusion, the audience I was with remained hushed, contemplative. This is all the more remarkable since Nell is not an outstanding film; it has a number...

Pros: --
Cons: The assumptions behind the script

Jodie Foster plays a woman who never developed proper, understandable speech because her mother isolated her from civilization for the majority of her life, ever since she was small.

Why was Foster's character so isolated? Why did the mother...

Pros: Pretty good acting, GREAT ending
Cons: Partial nudity, adult situations, a little creepy

Nell is the story of a woman (Jodie Foster) who is raised, along with her twin sister, by her mother, in the woods in North Carolina. Her mother had half of her face paralyzed, and so can only talk with .5 of her facial muscles. Nell and her sister,...

Pros: intense movie
Cons: none

A great heart warming film!
when your looking for a movie that can really hold your interest, this one is it!
in my opinion; Foster outdone herself in this film, in her role as a sibling. Playing a role as wonderful and heart warming, showing...

Pros: Great story, takes you to an unfamiliar place. That's what I like in a movie.
Cons: Although I loved it, I had to watch a few times to understand some parts.

I think this is one of Jodie Fosters best movie. She made the role of Nell totally believable. It's a great story. It never hurts to have Liam N. as a supporting actor.
