A strong, probably brilliant young woman. On imdb I read what adult Mara Wilson said about acting in film or tv and was impressed. This little film seals the deal. It is a tiny, sparkling little production.* A talented young friend is starring as Matilda in her middle school's version of Matilda. Am beginning my homework. My also brilliant friend Melissa demanded silence when we watched the 1996 Danny Devito, Rita Perlman, Mara Wilson . . . Wow, a lot of talent, movie. Silence is hard to get from me. So thank you Mara Wilson, MJBMD, ECG and family. Looking forward.
*i watch everything with captions - didn't think of or need them for this production.
