Matilda
Rating – 9/10
Matilda is a very unusual girl. Judge for yourself — multiplying huge numbers in her head, moving objects with her sight and doing many other supernatural things. But her parents are not amazed at Matilda’s abilities; they are not even interested in their daughter’s life. When Matilda goes to school, she has to face inert and ignorant teachers, as well as the terrible headmistress of the boarding school, Ms. Trunchball.
This movie will definitely put a smile on your face! So whenever you want to watch a heart-warming film, consider Matilda.

Mia and Sebastian meet by chance, and then they meet again and again, fall in love, and dream together about how all their dreams come true. But are such great ambitions compatible with quiet family dinners? What should they choose — popularity among the masses or obscurity and a real vocation?
