At first I thought this was yet another boring movie about a trial. The first part of the movie seemed very unrealistic, and I almost switched off my television. Despite the unrealistic nature of the story the acting was actually very good...and after a while I began to like this movie. It was actually more original than other courthouse movies. But what really amazed me was that the movie has actually been based on a true story! Now, I don't want to offend any person, but if what happens in this movie is really possible in the US, I can't have much faith in its justice system.

Nell
(1994)
Unrealistic
25 May 2002
This film is to my opinion very unrealistic. It tells the psychological history of the leading character, Nell. Having studied psychology, I think the progression of Nell's behaviour is just not possible. Considering that this is the main theme this is a very negative point. But on the other hand however, the acting performance of Jodie Foster is superb. Jodie Foster and the tension build up by the story actually makes it worthwhile to view this movie. Considering pros and cons I rated it 6 out of 10.
