I love the novel. It's a heartwarming story about a brilliant girl with extraordinary powers. Being unfamiliar with the musical adaptation, I certainly wasn't expecting to cry with the emotional and dark turns. The actors, young and old, are beyond incredible! Miss Honey is such a beautiful character with an enormous heart; she gives young Matilda - and the viewer, hope that all will come to a happy end. We all need someone like Miss Honey in our lives. It's a terrific film with lovely songs. And the message of being true to yourself, and standing up for what's right, definitely makes this perfect for families. It's an emotionally-charged blast from start to finish. A+
