The film Nell featured Miss Foster, and was a tour de force (whatever that may mean).

Jodie Foster's performance is much better than the movie, but Nell is still one of those movies you should see.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Mar 1, 2022

All of this proves somewhat uplifting and, in the end, fairly moving. Under Apted's caring direction, Foster gives a fearless, appealing, utterly uninhibited performance throughout.

Stunningly awful on almost every level.

| Original Score: D | Jan 20, 2007

Somber, ponderous, and pretentious, this is a clinical study of a wild woman (Jodie Foster) raised in the backwoods, far from the interference and contamination (according to the film) of Civilization. It's better to see Truffaut's Wild Child.
