    I learned that kids with Tourettes are funny, and that I wish to punch some parents in the face.

    A bright little girl with a debilitating condition finds strength and solace in her school's production of "Alice in Wonderland". Director Daniel Barnz does a commendable job with an outstanding cast but, instead of engaging us (his audience), all his efforts seem focused toward...( read more) enlightening us. The result is a film that's pleasant but preachy.

    Phoebe In Wonderland is a Brilliant tale of a 9 year old girl, that suffers from Tourettes Syndrome. She is very familiar with the story of Alice, since her mother is writing a book on Wonderland. So when the school's new drama teacher decides to put on the play, Phoebe is very a...( read more)nxious to join the tea party. As Alice, she can escape into a world where she feels comfortable with friends she has known her whole life.
    I thought this was a wonderful film, one of the best films I have seen in awhile.It explores the need for escape into an alternate reality and the denial every family goes through when faced with a problem.
    Elle Fanning is absolutely adorable and she was nothing short of amazing as Phoebe. Felicity Huffman is a phenomenal actress and played the part of Hillary Lichten to a t. As a mom, I felt her pain. I am a super fan of Patricia Clarkson, ever since she was Sarah on Six Feet Under. With everything she puts herself into, she just seems to pull you in as well and take you along for the ride. I thought she was outstanding as the eccentric Mrs. Dodger.
    I am a huge fan of Alice In Wonderland, it is my favorite book and I can find myself easily lost in Looking Glass Land as well. So, I was quickly able to identify with Phoebe, and fall in love with this film.

    Very odd, but so well done that you keep watching to see what was going to happen next. Excellent cast and well put together.

    Unexpectedly good. A very beautiful, original, suave and inspiring story. It definitely touched me. Fanning's performance is phenomenal - especially with the depth and weight of the character she had to portray. All characters are perfectly developed and highly sophisticated, and...( read more) the movie is worked down to the very last detail. A story of love, acceptance and overcoming hardships. You don't get to see movies like this every day, so don't pass the chance to. And despite the fact that it wasn't the masterpiece it could have been and that in times it got you slightly lost, it's a film I'd suggest to everyone.

    Patricia Clarkson è dio.
    Il film niente di eccezionale, anche se Elle Fanning ha sicuramente più talento della sorella. Quindi Team Elle!

    Had great great character, but yet was terribly mundane.

    Whatever the flmmakers were going for in this film they missed. A dreary downer with an able cast wasted.

    "Alice in Wonderland", always a good reference.
    Patricia Clarkson, always interesting.
    Elle Fanning, remarkable acting. I didn´t know her before this movie, but I´m sure she´s gonna be (even more) a great actress when grown-up.
