SincereFinest disgusting, overrated, pointless

Holstra Boring, long, and too preachy.

Matrixiole Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

Siflutter It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

Blackbird013-1 This is a spectacular family film. In it's original language there is a nuance of multiple languages blending so if you can stand subtitles with the actual voices of the actors I highly recommend it for adults and children old enough to keep up.Things to understand: It's not a modern action children's movie with a defined villain although some actions in the film on the part of some characters can be seen as villainous or dark. The entire movie focuses on real life personality drama rather than mechanized drama.It's not a Disney or typical family film format with unintelligent people characterizations made simple and obvious. While themes are simple enough for children, they are handled in a more subtle real way.It may contain some classic clichés about conditions and illnesses among children which it is up to the viewer to determine the merit of.It's an absolutely beautiful film that seems to portray a real world rather than a polished one which is actually refreshing. Period mud streets and dirty feet with a contrast between simple mountain life and prim proper city life.

patriciagoldsworthy When I rented this movie, I thought it could never be as wonderful as the 1930's version starring Shirley Temple. This was an amazing movie and pulls at your heart strings. Worth seeing for the beautiful visuals indoors and out. Heidi reminds us that the simple things in life are what make life worthwhile. Thank & Grow Rich Pam Grout

dessi_jessi That film is one of the most amazing films I've ever watched. Brilliant acting, excellent script, beautiful locations, wonderful soundtrack. The plot is breath taking and I definitely recommend it to everyone! There aren't many films like this nowadays. It's a real gem. A film which is a feast for the soul.

Finfy I was skeptical the first time I saw that Heidi was going to be adapted into a movie again since I grew up with the animated series on television and I remember it even today but this movie surprised me.You can feel how much the movie team wanted to make a movie that people knowing the original would love.Heidis actor is a wonderful girl. I could barely imagine anyone who would fit the role better than her. Klara and every other actor fit their role and play them with a lot of charm.The pictures in the movie are beautiful. You can almost feel Heidis love for them when she is in Frankfurt and how much she misses them. The movie is well shot and has a wonderful and catching score which contributes to the overall positive mood of the movie.I am glad they got to put every big plot point in the movie. Especially Klaras arc later in the series. We get a wonderful ending and in the end a wonderful movie for kids and fans of the originals.
