Amazon.com essential video
This film is an intelligent examination of an easygoing doctor (Liam Neeson at his teddy bear best) and his discovery of Nell (Oscar nominee Jodie Foster), a woman who was raised in the woods with no human contact except her speech-impaired mother. The movie covers a familiar "fish out of water" story unlocking Nell's soul (by deciphering her incomprehensible language) and then taking her into the modern world. What makes Nell special is the earnest work by Neeson, Natasha Richardson (as an uptight psychologist), and a rich, small array of supporting members (journeyman Nick Searcy as the town sheriff is marvelous). At its center is another extraordinary job by Foster, who also produced. Director Michael Apted (Thunderheart) brings his regular load of realism into the picture, set aglow by luscious camerawork (by Dante Spinotti) in the hills of North Carolina. Through lyrical speech and gesture, Foster makes you believe she's in another woman's body, akin to Jeff Bridges's work in Starman, a marvelous sight to behold that powers the movie. Written by William Nicholson (Shadowlands) and Mark Handley, based on Handley's play Idioglossia. --Doug Thomas

 Jodi Foster at her best December 6, 2008
Amazon.com Believer (Kingsort,TN USA)
A real insight into twins and the magical world that they create. A testament to caring and insightful social working. Liam Neeson and Jodi Foster were incredible in their roles.

ADRIENNE MILLER (TENNESSEE)
Jodie Foster is brilliant in Nell. Her strange and gentle performance earned her another Oscar nomination. Liam Neeson and Natasha Richardson also star (they are married in real life) I like the energy they bring to the film. The story is a little hard to believe but the performances make this film worth watching again and again. Enjoy!

This movie offers some very important lessons: acceptance, understanding, communication, how judging others can nurture or destroy those being judged. A brilliant study of human character. A more than brilliant performance by Jodie Foster as Nell.

"Nell" is a movie that all should watch at some time. It shows the reasons why we fear the unknown and how we should accept all that we come into contact with. The acting is superb and makes each a believer in tolerance for the humanity in our lives.
