About
(Danny DeVito, US, 1996, 98 min, in English)
ð' Programmed in loving memory of Paul Reubens ð'
Matilda loves to read, and does so voraciously, carting entire Radio Flyer-loads of books home from the library. Her yearn to learn is entirely rejected by her humorously cruel, small-minded, self-interested parents (Danny DeVito [who also directs and narrates] & Rhea Perlman), and as Matilda begins to develop special powers beyond just being a little genius, they begin to wonder if life wouldnt be simpler without her around. One thing leads to another, and Matilda is shipped off to be de-educated by the child-loathing Ms. Trunchbull, tyrannical principal of Crunchem Hall. There, Matilda and her teacher Miss Honey fall in love (its platonic, okay! just bear with us and refer to the number of top LB reviews concerning Miss Honey gay awakenings) and have endearing adventures, mutually modeling futures for one another that each longs for as they try to figure out how to liberate the students and staff of Crunchem Hall from the Trunchbulls despotic rule.
All that, PLUS Agent Bob (the late Paul Reubens), stunning cinematography by Batman Returns cinematographer Stefan Czapsky, and the immortal child-hurling, cake-gorging, and Little Bitty Pretty One sequences.
A perfect movie, throughout which you can expect to weep countless tears for a time when production design really meant something (and for your unresolvable Miss Honey issues).

Accessibility
Ticketing, concessions, cinemas, restrooms, and our public edit lab are located on Northwest Film Forum's ground floor, which is wheelchair accessible. We have a limited number of assistive listening devices available for programs hosted in our larger theater, Cinema 1. These devices are maintained by the Technical Director, and can be requested at the ticketing and concessions counter.
The Forum does NOT have assistive devices for the visually impaired, and is not (yet) a scent-free venue. Our commitment to increasing access for our audiences is ongoing, and we welcome all public input on the subject!
If you have additional specific questions about accessibility at our venue, please contact our Patron Services Manager at maria@nwfilmforum.org
