I watched the movie "Nell" that came out in 1994 and stars Jodie Foster, Liam Neeson and Natasha Richardson. Imdb describes it as "In a remote woodland cabin, a small town doctor discovers Nell - a beautiful young hermit woman with many secrets." which made me think I might not like it when I read a similar description in the TV listings. But I was tired of the computer one afternoon this last weekend and there was nothing else on so I started watching it. Well the descriptions don't really do it justice. It was very good with excellent acting especially by Jodie Foster in a difficult role. I did figure one thing out about it fairly early but they gave some strong hints that helped. But that didn't ruin it for me. It is a fairly emotional movie and I highly recommend it.

I definitely thought that it was an interesting movie. I saw quite a while ago, and don't remember the entire movie, but I do remember watching it, and do remember bits and pieces of it. I did enjoy it.

I think I saw it when I was younger and will have to watch it again. I have seen bits of it since I probably first saw it and I recall a little of the end. It kind of seems like one of those movies where the "highly intelligent" people were messing with others (Nell) that were doing just fine on their own and shouldn't have been messed with. If I am wrong let me know

Oh, I hated that movie. But then again, I was a teenager when I saw it. I knew what it was about and everything so I wasn't expecting anything different. Perhaps if I had viewed it when I was older I would have had a different opinion.
