I loved his creative and uplifting approach to that film where he explored an epic story through the imagination of a child character and I enjoyed a lot about his follow-up Wendy, for the same reasons. Admittedly, there are some issues with the narrative on occasion but this is an interesting reimagining of the Peter Pan story that works very well under Zeitlin’s emotional and soaring technique. It may not be as fully realised as Beasts but Zeitlin is an undoubtedly talented director. Expand

Disney meets Lord of the Flies in this captivating, glorious, and practically perfect retelling of Peter Pan.

A story of identity, tragedy, development, and vivacity, Wendy (shot on 16mm film) is nothing shy of an instant modern classic. Wendy may initially give off the vibe of yet another boring Hollywood remake, but where it excels in its in cast performance, stunning semiotics, and visual seamlessness. Seeing this movie will leave anyone, no matter how strong, ready to bawl as he or she releases his or her inner child. Expand

Wendy hits all the feels as it dives into the themes of maintaining hope and the loss of innocence. A wonderful reimagining of a familiar tale with a ragtag cast that pulls everything together with perfection.

There was so much potential in this movie. I guess we shouldn't expect much when child actors are involved. But I had lowered my expectations. Next time get a better casting team.
