This film is simply disgusting for what it was filmed for. This is not a film, it cannot be called that, this is just propaganda of liberalism, which is already enough everywhere. I'm so tired of this.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie was okay. But, I do not think it should be rated PG. Mostly because of the topics. 1) Rose (Angelina Jolie) turns to alcohol to deal with the grief of her son, David (Reece Yates). Young kids who see this will think of alcohol as a way to cope with stressful situations which is not something you would want to promote in a children's movie. 2) Then, Alice (Keira Chansa) finds the bottle in her mother's drawer and proceeds to drink what's left in the bottle causing her to feel dizzy and end up in a new world (kind of like being drunk). Keep in mind, Alice is only eight. She uses this "potion" as an escape (she even says "Take me away" before she drinks it). I did enjoy the movie, but I don't think the rating is appropriate. I also don't really think the movie's target audience's age (most likely younger children as it is fantasy and has Peter Pan and Alice) would understand the topics being discussed (the father's issues as an example). And it kind of put a tragic spin on childhood favorites if I'm going, to be honest. Basically, there were a lot of non-child friendly topics (i.e; alcoholism, gambling, fraud, torture, etc.)..
There also was not much magic/fantasy in it. The themes were depressing and tragic. Also, if you think about the ending, Peter most likely ended up running away from home and living in the streets with the gang they met previously. It went from imagination to hallucinations in my opinion.
Otherwise, it was a decent movie. Great acting and cinematography.… Expand

Повестка ради повестки и ничего более. Даже фильмом язык не поворачивается это назвать

Full review: Lets get the good out of the way here first. It is a retelling and reimagining of Peter pan that is not from the #EvilestCorporationOnEarth. Moreover it is effectively a movie for children devoid of that "magic" influence which in and of itself is a positive. Secondly it is a DARK reimagining of it. Much closer to the source material and again that is definitely a big positive in this productions favor. To some that seems inappropriate but I point to the whole of Grimms fairy tales and more modern classics like The Secret Of NIHM or 9 that show that dark stories are in fact positive for children. Beyond that you get adequate performances out of Jolie Oyelowo and Michael Caine as you would expect from actors of their caliber. The children are a much more mixed and all together inadequate bag, even for child actors. That is a big problem for a film focused around children Sadly thats where the good ends. .

The film is eye rollingly preachy and unwatchable. Finger wagging you to death about how much white guilt you should feel. It is also insulting to the audiences it panders to because it is taking a white narrative and transposing it over black actors as if that is good enough, instead of drawing from the rich narrative history from various black cultural childrens stories. This is done specifically because audiences like safe, familiar things and those stories are basically unknown to mass audiences. So instead of taking a chance of telling an authentic and appropriate story the hope was casting black actors into a white narrative would be sufficient. Unfortunately it has exactly the opposite effect of being offensive to both white and POC parents alike. So both will skip showing it to their children.

The overall production could have been so much better. It suffers a lot of not fourth wall breaking "suspension of disbelief" requirement inherent to kids films as plot threads unravel out aimlessly. The pacing is bland and unimaginative. Slow and plodding its way with all the pretension and foppishness of a Downton Abbey that will either cause children to get bored and become rambunctious, thus negating the purpose of children's entertainment, Or lull them to sleep, thus negating the purpose of being entertainment. Ill grant the whole thing a 4. Its far from the worst thing Ive ever seen. I am trying to give credit to all the people who worked to make it. That said it fails to be what every video media is supposed to be. Entertaining which is the cardinal sin of movies & TV. Doing so in such an insulting and pandering method leaves the good work the performers TRIED to accomplish as something completely unwatchable. This is basically empty theater/living room entertainment at its most unwatchable.… Expand
