   Critics consensus Danny DeVito-directed version of Matilda is odd, charming, and while the movie diverges from Roald Dahl, it nonetheless captures the book's spirit. More reviews on Rotten Tomatoes

   Is Matilda a good movie?

   • My daughters (ranging from age 9-16) have loved this movie for several years. I am normally a very sensitive person and wasn't disturbed by the macabre tone of the movie. Somehow the movie remains upbeat as Matilda is able to find someone who will love her even though her parents don't appreciate her. Young Mara Wilson shines as Matilda.

   Is Matilda a good book for kids?

   • Matilda is a brilliant example of how to adapt a kids' book while still keeping it entertaining for adults. That's always a little easier with Roald Dahl books, since he uses some adult elements in his stories, but Nicholas Kazan and Robin Swicord did a great job of adapting that book to make a solid movie for young and old.

   Aug 2, 1996 · “Matilda” is not in any sense a “children's movie,” although older children will probably like it a lot. It is a dark family comedy about stupid parents, cruel teachers and a brave little girl, and it is no surprise to find that Danny DeVito not only stars but directed it.

   Matilda is a movie that certainly has it's share of flaws, but when it's good, it's really good. I talk about the flaws first: The acting is over top at points, a few characters are over the top, and the story has some unrealistic points. The story is about Matilda, a young girl who is neglected by her weird, unlawful, dysfunctional family.
