Editorial Review:
Filmed before (and quite nicely) in 1949, Frances Hodgson Burnett's classic children's story was remade for this admirable 1993 release, executive produced by Francis Ford Coppola and directed by acclaimed Polish filmmaker Agnieszka Holland. Splendidly adapted by Edward Scissorhands screenwriter Caroline Thompson, the film opens in India during the early 1900s, when young Mary Lennox (Kate Maberly) is orphaned and sent to England to live in Misselthwaite Manor, the gloomy estate of her brooding and melancholy uncle, Lord Craven (John Lynch). Because the uncle is almost always away on travels, struggling to forget the death of his beloved wife, Mary is left mostly alone to explore the estate. Eventually she befriends the young brother of a staff maid and Lord Craven's apparently crippled son, who has been needlessly bedridden for years. Together the three children restore a neglected garden on the estate grounds, and in doing so they set the stage for a moving reaffirmation of life and love. Filmed with graceful style and careful attention to the intelligence and cleverness of young children, The Secret Garden is that rarest breed of family film that transcends its own generic category, encouraging a sense of wonder and optimism to become a rewarding experience for viewers of any age. --Jeff Shannon

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Smartest Family movie
It doesn't paint children as you've come to expect in a movie. These children are brilliant. Kate Maberly as Mary Lennox is enchantingly Sensible. The music is sad and the story transforms with everything that lives. Nature and Youth blossoming together. It was like reading a cherished book. You run through so many personal emotions. I recommend A Little Princess and Finding Neverland (Widescreen Edition).
Rating: - Enchanting tale
When an earthquake in India leaves her an orphan, Mary Lennox is sent to live at her uncle's remote estate in England. The spoiled, bratty Mary is quite miserable with no one to talk to or play with and a stern housekeeper (Maggie Smith) hovering over her. When Mary begins exploring the manor, she discovers not only a secret garden but also a secret cousin!
This is a beautifully-filmed children's story about the power of friendship and overcoming adversity. I wasn't familiar with ... Read More
Rating:  - It's good movie!!!
I saw the movie and it was good. This movie whole story was good and it's sad and laugh. Also some scenes are beautiful. This movie feels love and lonely. The soundtrack was nice. This movie was good for whole family.
Rating: - Wonderful Story
What a wonderful story with a visual thrill. A movie for the whole family.
And to watch over and over for the beautiful photography and small detail that was missed. Wonderful casting and directing.
Rating: - "The whole world is a garden..."
This is a wonderful version of this classic book brought to life. In my opinion the variations don't detract from the timelessness. I loved the time-lapse photography of the blossoming garden, the abundant critters, and the relationships of the children. The story itself is very moving, and Mary blossoms beautifully with the garden. The symbolism is subtle with a good example at the end of the white lily in the pond, mirrored by the white horse in the field, followed by an even more distant shot ... Read More
