🔊 Matilda Wormwood (Mara Wilson) is a very clever and talented girl. One of the great things about her is her love of books. Her family do not understand her and are not interested in her or her wishes. Her father, who sells old cars, refuses to buy her books. Matilda feels very lonely. At the age of four she takes matters in her own hands and begins to visit the library and read lots of books. Though Matilda is too young she asks her parents to send her to school and in the end they agree to do it. At school quite unusual things begin to happen. Matilda finds out that she can move objects. These wonderful telekinetic powers help her to punish the terrible and violent School Head Miss Trunchbull who terrorizes pupils. In the film Matilda believes that when a person is bad, he or she deserves to get a lesson.
