absolutely obsessed with anne-marie mallik’s interpretation of alice in this one; as opposed to the innocent go-with-the-flow alice that has been depicted in previous adaptations, mallik’s is more introspective regarding the wonderland around her, which adds a similar level of depth and complexity to the character that burton’s adaptation does. while the others seemed to be accidentally eerie due to the costume designs of the time, this one seems to purposely lean into the eeriness with a minimalist approach and by taking away the typical colorful world associated with wonderland. the dialogue sticks to the nature of carroll’s original narrative, but certain parts seem more reflective, further pushing the existential questions that mallik’s alice seems to dwell on. overall enjoyed
