Pheobe in Wonderland was a beautiful film. You know how much I appreciate writing in movies, and it was certainly well-done in this one, but I have to give some major kudos to the actors. They completely blew me away! I was so invested in the main character's dilemmas and joys that I could hardly stomach pausing the movie for eight hours so I could go to work. It's on Netflix instant play, if any of you are interested. It's definitely worth your time, and it's a family-friendly movie, too. Very clean, and even a little instructional.
The photography could've been better. But, I respect that it was probably a low-budget film (even though it was actually in theaters--did you ever hear of it??). For what they had, though, it was great. It helped tell the story, and at times is was really cute. I loved getting into the little girl's head.
Where are my manners?! I have yet to tell you what this movie is even about!
Phoebe, a fourth-grade student and daughter of an author writing about Through The Looking-Glass, lands the lead role in her school's production of Alice in Wonderland. Her patient, strange drama teacher helps her learn a little about acting and a lot about life, but the more stressed out she becomes, the more she begins to see the characters from the book come to life and speak to her. Her parents aren't sure how to handle her new behavior, and even Phoebe doesn't know what's happening to her. What she does know is that she was born to play Alice.
It's really intriguing, and Elle Fanning is such a talented little actress. I can't wait to see more from her!
I give it a 9/10.
