Einkunnir og umsagnir

One of the best Secret Garden movies! Cinematography is great and the story is well made when it makes you cry...like it did for me at the ending. Wonderful actors all around. Just a good family movie about an era when children had few rights and fantasies were an escape.

The music and the images of this film still captivate me 20+ years later. I love this interpretation of the book. The film feels so care free and you feel as though you could be swept away with it at any moment. Highly recommended.

I think most little girls will understand and fall in love with this movie and the book. It's magical and teaches life lessons about friendship and enjoying nature. It's a beautiful movie that I hope to watch with my daughter in the year to come.
