A wild cannibalistic feral girl (Lauryn Canny) turns up at a hospital. After her initial assessment and treatment there she is handed to a convent where she is supposedly to be educated where she is shown kindness and sympathy by a nun there (Nora Jane-Noone) and some of her school girl friends, but also falls under the spell of the corrupt paedophile Bishop (Bryan Batt) who runs the convent. Her wild mother (played by the films director and wroter Pollyanna McIntosh) is also looking for her.
NELL (1994) this isn't. What it is, is the 3rd film that began with OFFSPRING (2009) and THE WOMAN (2011). While the idea has potential, it falls foul of some incompetent filmmaking, poor dialogue and amateurish plot structuring, despite a good performance from Canny who clearly has some talent as an actress.
