About this movie

When doctor Jerry Lovell (Liam Neeson, Oscar - nominee for "Schindler's List") discovers a young woman living alone in the backwoods of North Carolina, he is intrigued by her erratic behavior and unique pattern of speech. Together with a psychologist (Natasha Richardson), Lovell determines to pierce Nell's private world and protect her from the courts - and a life of scientific study. In a race against time and a system bent on shattering her spirit, he finds that the woman whose way of life he has sought to protect, has transformed his own forever.

I saw this movie when it first came out. I was 42, and found it very entertaining; sort of like a jungle boy story. At almost 67 I just saw it again in a whole new light. I saw all the in between details that spoke so many truths; especially the part of them needing HER rather than the other way around. A wonderful tearjerker that will melt your heart. PS: The person I watched it with said, (with tears in his eyes), "You sure know how to pick a good movie!"
