The Secret Garden (1993)

Sweet, beautifully told story based on the classic story about a lonely orphan girl who goes to live with her uncle in a forbidding British manor house. There she finds friendship and happiness when she discovers a wonderous, deserted, secret garden that is brought back to life in her magical hands. Starring Academy Award and Tony Award-winner Maggie Smith and directed by Academy Award-nominee Agnieszka Holland (Europa, Europa). Extraordinary critical acclaim! The Hollywood Reporter called this film not only the best of the current flood of family films, its one of the best movies of the year...a wondrous tale that will work like magic on young minds. The New York Times called it striking, lush, elegant, expressive. And Roger Ebert gave two thumbs up to what he called a film destined to become a classic. A film for the entire family.
