About This Movie

Alice Through the Looking Glass (1998) offers a unique twist on Carroll's tale, presenting Alice not as a child, but as a mother wrapped in a dreamy, bedtime storytelling. The film has this gentle, whimsical tone that resonates with nostalgia, thanks to its practical effects that bring the fantastical elements to life in a tangible way. The pacing feels unhurried, allowing viewers to soak in the imaginative landscapes of the Looking Glass world. The performances, especially that of the lead, carry a sweet warmth, drawing you into the dreamlike narrative. It's distinct in how it melds familial themes with fantasy, exploring notions of motherhood and storytelling in ways that feel both intimate and expansive.
