The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

I just watched a news story of a group of four teenagers, two boys and two girls, kidnapping and assaulting a boy with special needs. They are so delighted with themselves that they film it an put it on Facebook. We have a culture that enjoys going after those the least able to defend themselves. The character of Nell, based on a real person, is a woman who was raised in the woods and has developed a language all her own. It was a hybrid of two influences as she grew up. Of course, this brings in authorities who want to have her committed. One is a doctor who has no respect for her humanity and who wants to have her handy to study. Fortunately, someone intervenes and begins to "break the code" of the language she uses. How this happens is really interesting. Jodi Foster as the title character does a fine job, once again showing the versatility of her acting.

The film is especially upsetting because it has a mature theme or adult tone, and it has been rated 12 as a parental guidance and I was watching it with my 12 years old daughter and it is not suitable for 12 or 12A rate but NETFLIX failure in this point. I don't like the movie at all, very annoying and boring to watch it. Loads of naked scenes making no sense. Liam Neeson performance is mediocre and the scene where he come naked to the lake to make a possible contact with Nell, I found complete nonsense. I expect more from the movie and the only good performance was from Jodie Foster, but the language they choose for her to perform is really annoying and difficult to watch until the end, but I did just to write this review. I am not recommend.

I remember seeing this movie when I was younger, and had a fair memory of how the movie was and that it was a rather good movie. Now in 2012, I decided to get the movie and have another look at it. And I am actually quite happy that I did buy it from Amazon, because this movie is more than good."Nell" is a really beautiful story that will have you swept away and have you immersed into the story in no time. "Nell" tells a story of being human, accepting people for what and whom they are, it is a story of existence, but most importantly it is a story of the heart.I think this was actually the first or second movie I watched with Liam Neeson (playing Jerome Lovell) in it, and to this day, I still think this is his best and most memorable performance. Jodie Foster (playing Nell) is nothing short of extraordinary in this movie. Her performance is breathtakingly beautiful and so heartfelt.You really get caught up in the story, and you want to know what happens next. And the way Nell's story is revealed to you and how she grows, it is like you are right there with her. The director really did an awesome job on this movie. And the way Jodie Foster portrays Nell when exposed to the world and the life we take for granted is really good acting and amazing performing. She really makes Nell come to life as a real person."Nell" really goes straight into your heart and soul and the story will be with you for a long, long time. And you might want to keep some tissues at hand, because the story is really touching, and really helped so greatly along by Jodie Foster.I know that I will be watching this movie again at some point, even though the story doesn't hold surprising twists and such, it is one that can bear being watched more than once.

Having previously watched Nell one night on my own, I prevailed upon my wife and children (when they were coming up to their teens) to watch it with me one evening.As expected, they fell about laughing as soon as Jodie Foster started talking in "chickabee" language. And then, also as expected, they were utterly absorbed as this unusual and involving story unfolded. For, make no mistake, the quality of Jodie Foster's performance is such that Nell becomes absolutely real, and the audience is intrigued at discovering the explanation for her strange development, and dreadfully, dreadfully worried about what will happen to her.Others have written much better informed and more thoughtful reviews about this film - I will just say that I thought it was an excellent film, and so did my family.
