Movie Review (Phoebe in Wonderland)

Phoebe in Wonderland

Drama | 96 Minutes 
5/5 stars

Phoebe, a young girl with an imagination larger than life, faces the hardships of the world around her as her mother becomes more and more distant. She has difficulties separating reality and the world she has created inside her mind. Her world is filled with storybook characters from the book Alice in Wonderland, and she relies heavily on these characters to help her though life.

She struggles in the classroom environment, but finds her sanctuary when she joins the school musical, Alice in Wonderland.  With her mom becoming more and more distant from her children as she is writing her book, Phoebe grows close to her drama teacher, whom she looks up to and admires.

Overall I would say that this is a must see! I would like to give a warning to anyone who has trouble with suicidal thoughts, as there are some minor suicidal themes in this film. Other than that, I would definitely recommend that you add this to your list of movies to watch!
