About the film:
When her father leaves to fight in WWII, born-storyteller Sara is sent to boarding school where the severe headmistress tries to stifle her creative spirit. Based on the novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett.
“That rarest of creations, a children’s film that plays equally well to kids and adults… An exquisite, perfectly played serious fantasy that movingly stresses the importance of magic and the imagination”
—Todd McCarthy for Variety
