Alice, Through the Looking

About This Movie

So, there's this film called 'Alice, Through the Looking' from 2021 that dives into a rather offbeat reimagining of Alice's story. The director remains a bit of a mystery, adding a layer of intrigue to the whole affair. The film melds comedy and fantasy in a way that feels simultaneously whimsical and jarring, especially set against the backdrop of a post-Brexit UK. The pacing can be a bit erratic, which oddly suits Alice's chaotic journey as she searches for her soulmate Rabbit. The practical effects are interesting—there’s a tangible feel to the fantastical elements. Performances are varied, some really resonate while others might leave you scratching your head, but that’s part of its charm, I guess. It’s distinct in how it tackles themes of connection and disconnection, reflecting contemporary anxieties through a surreal lens.
