Heidi (2005)
Member Rating:  
An A-list cast, with screen legends Max von Sydow (The Seventh Seal, Hannah and Her Sisters), Diana Rigg (TV's The Avengers, On Her Majesty's Secret Service), andGeraldine Chaplin (Nashville, Remember My Name), highlights this live-action, feature-length adaptation of Johanna Spyri's much-beloved novel Heidi (1880). The picture -- like the book -- tells the familiar story of the title character (here played by Emma Bolger), an orphaned little girl who goes to live with her grandfather (Max Von Sydow) in the Swiss Alps. Shot on location in Switzerland, against a wintry, majestic backdrop, the picture strives to preserve Spyri's sense of the landscape and her rare insight into the perceptions of children, as well as the book's feel for sweeping adventure and lasting sentiment. Paul Marcus directs, from an adaptation by Brian Finch. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

    I really liked this movie, it was like reading a great book and I thought was a lot better than the usual Heidi versions, explaining a lot more but not changing the story. I thought it was well acted, the grandfather in particular, and the actress who played Heidi was refreshing and sweet. Beautiful scenery too. No major drama, good ending. I recommend this an excellent family movie too.

    We hated it so much, we didn't even finish it.
