Amazon.com essential video
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

 Real Life Magic December 29, 2008
A wonderful adaptation of a classic story, this movie is beautifully filmed. A great addition to any collection of children's movies. I enjoyed this as a child and still enjoyed seeing it again as an adult.
 Great show for any age November 21, 2008
I have loved this movie since I was a little girl and bought it simply to remind me of childhood. Watching it as an adult has still been a great experience, I think it's a wonderful movie.
Nice family film November 12, 2008
This was a nice family film. My kids (9) and (12) enjoyed it. Suitable for all ages. It followed the book well.
 Alfred Hitchcock's "The Spooky Garden" October 16, 2008
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
As a child I had read Frances Hodgsen Burnett's book, "The Secret Garden" and watched the BBC production of the same title. I immensely enjoyed both the book and the television production. I was surprised when another movie version was released in 1993. Out of curiosity I purchased the movie when it was released on home video as the BBC production was unavailable for purchase at the time. To be honest this version could have been produced by Alfred Hitchcock and titled "The Spooky Garden." The movie attempts to follow the classic story but the portrayal of the story is rather dark and lends itself to mysticism and New Age theology. The only acting which is note worthy is from Maggie Smith. She gives a chilling portrayal of Mrs. Medlock. I would advise people not to waste their money on this particular version but instead purchase either the BBC production starring Sarah Hollis Andrews or the Hallmark Hall of Fame version starring Gennie James and Colin Firth.
