It seems a nice film, with a special message. But It's not exactly what we've read in class. All in all, i'm talking without haven't watched it.

Really? Do you remember the name of the book, Eulàlia? It'd be interesting to take a look...
Xènia, I'm quite sure you'd like the film. Plus Jodie Foster is a great actress and she does a great job in Nell. Why don't you rent the DVD and tell us what you thought?

Maybe you should change your computer settings... Or try using a different Internet browser. Do you have Modzilla Firefox? For some reason, it seems to work better than Internet Explorer...
