Found this browsing the shelves, and borrowed it because I knew it was based on a famous children's book. As an adult, I didn't find the story particularly compelling. It was difficult to conjure much sympathy for the demanding Mary. …

A secret garden where magic, hope and love grow. An orphaned girl turns a dark-haunted manor into a delightful house. A well-acted, nicely crafted, entrancing entertainment.

The music to this film is exquisitely beautiful and varied and deepens the already intriguing storyline. An amazing and appropriate for the whole family film.

This beautifully filmed movie was originally released in 1993 by Warner Brothers. The film is definitely "based on" the book "The Secret Garden" and it adapts enough of the book to be captivating, but it is not a respectful translation.…

One of the best movies of all time, been watching this movie on and off over the years. And I first saw this movie in fifth grade back in 2005. One of my favorite movies of all time I do recommend this movie for a younger audience.

what a pleasant surprise to see dame maggie smith in this version of the children's classic. it's hard to beat reading the book illustrated by tasha tudor, but this was well done.

I absolutely ADORE this movie adaptation of the beloved children's novel. It gives you the grit that Mary has developed, it gives you the softening of her heart as she pours her feelings of moving to her Uncle's mansion into the…

I feel that this film captures the book pretty well. There are a few changes in the details (i.e. extra details not in the book, change of details in the book) but I thought it still followed the original story-line fairly…

I have not read the book so cannot compare the film against it. As a stand-alone film, it has beautiful images and a reasonable story line. Acting by all three child actors is great. Definitely a good film for the family.

I watched this movie with my daughters last night and must admit that we all ended up with teary eyes in the end: This was by far the nicest movie I have watched in a long time, something to warm and touch your heart, a movie that has…

This is a predictible story of a young orphan girl made to live with distant relatives. English setting includes castle with interesting hidden exits and rooms with servants, some of which are domineering and some are friendly. …
