Come Away

This film was really disappointing. It was advertised as a sort of interesting, light-hearted mix between children who have access to both Neverland and Wonderland. Yet, this film had a much more somber tone to it that wasn't necessarily suitable for younger children. I was willing to give this film the benefit of the doubt, b/c as we all know, how a film is marketed isn't necessarily what's contained in the final product. However, the film's plodding, methodical pacing really belied the entire storyline, so much so that as the film was approaching its end, there hardly seemed enough time to properly wrap up the loose ends. Ultimately, it seemed that this film had been over-edited. I got the feeling that there might've been much more going on in an original cut, b/c it was difficult to imagine such a disjointed script having been filmed.

An absurd revision of the characters of Alice and Peter Pan that brings together two stories to build an unintelligent plot, which at no time find the right tone, nor the audience to whom it is directed. Only the precious and beautiful soundtrack of John Debney makes a film enjoyable that flounders in its attempt to offer an original reading of the fantasy and imagination of the two characters.
