The most darkest adaptation of a children's novel. Beautifully shot, really makes you wonder about the capability of human brain.
A darkly unique vision that makes a story that is universally known completely new again
The book deserves more movies like this.
It's a dark and twisted take on Alice in Wonderland brimming with loneliness.
This is the real Alice in Wonderland: dark, weird and poetic!
Caused me an extended feeling of discomfort. It deals with deep childhood fears, and keeps on going. Svankmajer is a genius.
A fascinating experience which may not be for everyone but is definitely worth a watch if you want to watch experimental-cinema
It’s very odd, but it’s interesting and twisty on the usual picture of Alice in wonderland
Weird as hell. Gave me a headache. Worth a watch.
Jan Svankmajer is a master of stop motion. This is a must-see movie for any film buff.
