5.0 out of 5 stars a beautiful movie, March 12, 2000

By

This review is from: Zelly & Me [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This is one of the best movies I've ever seen. The story is about a nanny's unconditional love for a child, and the lessons that she teaches her. In the midst of a terrible situation that is beyond their control, the nanny teaches the little girl about being courageous, trusting her instincts, and being true to her own heart. If every child had an adult like this in their life, the world would be a better place. It is a thoughtful, insightful movie that shows how one truly loving person can make a significant difference in another's life.

5.0 out of 5 stars TOUCHING DRAMA...A REAL TEAR-JERKER!!!!, May 2, 2002

Isabella Rossellini is sublime in this incredible drama involving a Nanny's un-dying support and love for a troubled child, played FANTASICALLY by Alexandra Jones. This child will steal your heart.

The scenes are dreamy...especially the wedding scene. SO BEAUTIFUL!

David Lynch as a Love Interest cannot be missed! Really superb!!!

I WISH I WISH I WISH This would come out on DVD...PLEEEEAAAASE..!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Classic Tale of a "Lost" child looking for love, April 19, 2002

By 

Kellie Fisher (Hanford, CA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Zelly & Me [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This is the type of movie that you have to sit down and really watch. It is the story of a lonely girl whose parent's were killed in a car accident which forced her to live with her overbearing, obsessive-compulsive and often verbally abusive grandmother, and of the child's relationship with her nanny. This is one of my daughter and my all-time favorite movies. You can truly feel the pain of the child, her loneliness and her fear. It is nothing like "Mommie Dearest"...it is a very intimate and small cast of characters. I don't want to say too much and "give away" the movie but it is not your typical Hollywood drama and there are no predictible events. Definately a 5 star movie!!!!
