Speaker Sir Isaac Wayne. Connections Edited into Funny or Die Presents User reviews Review. Top review. Utterly Fantastic. This movie is an absolutely wonderful fantasy. I totally loved it.

The dialog is brilliant. The humor is both bold, and subtle. The characters are archetypal. Matilda perfectly captures what it is like to be an intelligent person, trapped in the body of a child, and surrounded by idiots who control far too much of your life. The notion that bad people even adults deserve to be punished for their evil ways even by children is truly subversive.

Any child who suffered through the countless typical abuses of unthinking, uncaring, and ignorant parents will truly love this movie. Those same unthinking, uncaring, and ignorant parents will probably hate this movie, unless they are wise enough to see the truth behind the fantasy. Despite the difficulties Matilda faces, like all good fantasies this movie has a wonderfully happy ending.

I wish the same for all.
