Matilda Wormwood is an exquisite and intelligent little girl. Unfortunately, her parents, Harry and Zinnia misunderstand her because they think she is so different. As time passes, she finally starts school and has a kind teacher, loyal friends, and a sadistic headmistress. As she gets fed up with the constant cruelty, she begins to realize that she has a gift of telekinetic powers. After some days of practice, she suddenly turns the tables to stand up to Harry and Zinnia and outwit the headmistress.
Editor's Verdict
"The film 'Matilda' (1996) focuses entirely on Matilda's struggle with her neglectful parents and abusive headmistress, culminating in her discovery and use of telekinetic powers. There is no mention of the Christmas season in the setting, plot, or thematic resolution. It does not meet any of the required criteria for a Christmas movie."
