*" Who are you?
I hardly know, sir.
I know who I was when I got up this morning, but I think I must have changed several times since then. "*
alice walks through a black-and-white fever dream where everyone needs therapy and nobody answers the question she asked.

Good acting (mainly mad hatter), wonderful presentation of a group of mad people yelling in a courtroom. I think it’s creative, given that at that time they couldn’t use special effects and crazy AI skills. They portrayed the unusual and sinister feeling of Alice and wonderland using other techniques such as eerie music and uncommon phrases to display how they have gone completely out of their mind. But the film was a bit uncanny and strange as it made no sense at some point in the movie. And because somewhere in between Alice and a so called Cheshire Cat which could be a woman or a man, the characters were just jumping up and down and yelling like demented people.

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
