I’d advise all parents, even all grown-ups: Go.

Soppy and girlish in the extreme, this should keep even the tiniest viewer rapt, while all too many adults may fall victim to an inexplicable bout of eye-watering long before the closing credits.

The film uses studio resources to create an entrancing world both in New York and in the heroine's fantasies about India.

RTLoud and Clear ReviewsAug 19, 2025

Overall, A Little Princess is a masterclass in magical realism, which also happens to be one of the genres Alfonso Cuarón excels in.
