Wonderland

About This Movie

Wonderland is this quirky documentary that digs into the oddities of Levittown, New York, the first of those mass-produced suburbs. The tone is both humorous and a bit surreal, with interviews that reveal the bizarre slice of life in a place where houses were literally assigned by the alphabet. It plays with themes of conformity, community, and the absurdity of suburban life. The pacing is a bit erratic, which adds to its charm, as it bounces from one strange anecdote to another. You get a real sense of the era, not just through the visuals but the stories of the residents - from bomb shelters to wife-swapping. It’s a fascinating portrait that’s a little off-kilter, making it feel distinctive in a sea of more polished docs.
