Nell Movie Review

Jodie Foster provides a rare letdown in Nell, the story of a woman raised in solitude by her stroke-victim mother. What could have been a poignant story about gender roles and ethics is instead another formula opposites-attract bit of touchy-feely schlock, where Foster actually, and I am not making this up, allows herself to perform “The Tittie Dance” on screen. Worth seeing only so you can try figure out why Foster thought this film was necessary.
