Matilda

A highly intelligent young girl finds little support at home and longs for a better life through books and school. With help from a kind teacher and loyal friends, she faces a cruel headmistress while discovering an extraordinary gift that may help her challenge the adults around her.

My take

You’ll like this if you enjoy heartfelt, rebellious family fantasies with quirky humor and a child overcoming unfair adults; Not for you if exaggerated characters or darker school cruelty put you off.
