One movie critic says of Nell as "a touching and thoughtful drama that explores complex issues associated with whether it is always right for 'civilized' people to decide what is best for others, even if those others have no apparent need of 'help'. The film is very much a vehicle for Jodie Foster, who turns in an outstanding performance as Nell and confidently communicates in Nell's made-up language aided by great facial expressiveness. Of the two doctors, the most notable performance comes from Liam Neeson, who comes across as genuine and compassionate." The stunning use of wilderness scenery serves to emphasize that although Nell has none of the trappings of civilization, she is far from deprived. Although the ending is fairly typical happyHollywood, and there is perhaps not enough examination of Nell's background and thoughts, overall the film is unusual and fascinating.
