Movie Review- Nims Island

Movie Title- Nims Island. Adventure. Rated PG. Movie based on a book. This is a fun movie, but I found it rather disturbing that a father would leave his eleven year old daughter alone on a deserted island for two nights. What happened if an earthquake occurred or she got hurt? Basic plot- A widower and his daughter, Nim, live on an island nobody knows about. The father is a scientist. He has to go away to find an eco-specimen for two nights. His daughter is left by herself with some pets. There is a big storm and she needs help. Her father can’t help because he’s on a boat which is wreaked in the storm. All communication is lost with his daughter. Nim emails someone her father knows, an author of a book she likes. I’ll leave it there in case you want to watch the movie. Jodie Foster does a nice job as the writer who has border line agoraphobia.
