Alice in Wasteland

About This Movie

Alice in Wasteland is an interesting twist on the classic tale, blending elements of action and adventure into a gritty, urban landscape. The film's atmosphere feels heavy, almost suffocating at times, which complements Alice's disorientation after waking from her coma. Schuermann's direction really leans into practical effects that give the underbelly of this world a rawness that's often lost in CGI-heavy productions. The pacing is a bit off-kilter, which might throw some viewers, but it adds to the disjointed feel of Alice's experience. The performances have a certain authenticity, especially Alice's, as she navigates through a labyrinth of moral ambiguity and shady characters. There's a lot to unpack here regarding choices and consequences, definitely worth a watch for those who appreciate a more unconventional narrative.
