PHOEBE IN WONDERLAND (Theatrical Release USA 2008)
Ben
Meyers’ Rating: 4.3|5.0 Starsìììì
Phoebe in Wonderland—WOW!—watch it and know that Elle Fanning has
talent that many actors and actresses cannot fully access over many years of hard
work. The ability to pull the most from her character would seem impossible.
But her access to the personality of Phoebe is incredible. The movie can seem
complicated but it is that complication that allows an immediate second watch. Watch
for an ending that the audience will have to think about before the ‘AHA’ moment comes. This movie provides a terrific look at imaginary friends, repetitive behavior, deep involvement in
visual processing that blurs the edge of ‘reality,' and mental imaging. Good
work for all involved in this movie’s production.

Yes. This film is quite a good show. Kind of
wonderful in its own way. Very creative, fresh, and, unfortunately, easy to pass over. Don’t
