Somewhere inside all of us is the power to change the world.

Overview

Matilda Wormwood is an brilliant and intelligent little girl. Unfortunately, her parents, Harry and Zinnia, fail to see that fact. As time passes, she finally starts school and has a kind teacher, loyal friends, and a terrifying, sadistic headmistress. As she becomes fed up with the constant cruelty, she discovers she has a special gift that she just might be able to use to outwit the unruly adults around her.

Hold on to this gem tightly, because movies like _Matilda_ will probably never get made again.

_Final rating:★★★★ - Very strong appeal. A personal favourite._
