Criticism

" The whole story could have been told in half the time and so arise after the first hour of several lengths. Very strong is Nick Willings ' Alice in Wonderland', however, in the artistic interpretation. The topic about the feelings which in a casino men absorbed and filled into expensive bottles is done and also the oblique Tea Party as well as the strong performance by the Queen of Hearts, played by Oscar - winner Kathy Bates, make this ' Alice in Wonderland' in some ways unique. Nick Willings modern ' Alice' staging convinced at least in artistic ways! "

" All in all, should decide any fan of the original even if he this modern interpretation of" to give Alice in Wonderland " a chance or not. The magical and whimsical atmosphere of the book is just as available as the hidden statements. The two-piece knitted a lot easier and less demanding and tells a more or less conventional story of love and family that uses only fragments from the two Alice novels of Lewis Carroll. "
