The Secret Garden - A Classic Movie


The Secret Garden
Movie information:
Young British girl, Mary Lennox, born and raised in India loses her neglectful parents in an earthquake. She is returned to England to live at her uncle's home. Her uncle is very distant to her and her cousin, Colin, due to the loss of his wife ten years ago. Neglected once again, she begins exploring the estate and discovers a garden that has been locked. Aided by one of the servants' brothers, Dickon, she begins restoring the garden, and eventually discovers other secrets of the manor.
Our Review:
It was an interesting concept but moved a bit slowly at times. The Secret Garden is still an instant classic. Great performances from all the actors -especially Maggie Smith, who played Mrs Medlock. It’s a family friendly movie and even though it starts out sad and with darker themes of death, it ends up happy and with new life and joy.
