Prodigy (2017)
Good acting of the girl but storyline is too obvious
9 yo girl held in an isolated prison cause she is branded as dangerous.
Her skill/power is obvious from the beginning. What else?
I find the way they treat her hard to endure. They even intend to kill and cut open the girl after the psychologist's analysis. Hopefully that would not happen in reality? But who knows.
She punishes herself in staying there because she regrets having murdered her mother.
Yet that girl needs love, not punishment. So an almost happy ending. She should be adopted by someone totally respectful who appreciates her intellect and does not fear her powers.
Little Manhattan (2005)
Little boy's perspective movie
Some weeks in the life of a clumsy and a bit chubby ten year old boy falling in love with a socially superior almost 11-year old beautiful girl. Credible acting of both of them.
Self-esteem issues that could be quite commom in boys that age when girls often are taller then them.
Worth watching for boys that age or older and girls that age or younger.
Tideland (2005)
Contrast of the extremes
This film is just about a beautiful imaginative girl playing amongst disgusting dumb creatures in a barren environment. May be intended as social criticism aiming at incapable parenting. Duration is much too long, 90 minutes would be sufficient.
Mommy's Little Princess (2019)
10 yo Girl that knows what she wants
Great movie about a former underclass girl now adopted by a decent family. But that's not enough for 10-year old Lizzy. After finding out that she genetically derives from an old noble family located in Germany she not only dreams of being a real princess but does everything to become one.
Impressing acting of the young female main actress. A dangerous combination of cleverness, dominance and ruthlessness. Everybody is only a tool for her needs. Her cute appearance perfectly camouflages that.
Yet one point of criticism: Her family should have informed about the position of nobility
in Germany. There still exist barons, princesses etc. But they don't have any real privileges nowadays. It's only the title that has remained!
Who likes this movie may also be excited by the German also 2019 movie "Systemsprenger".
