Lewis versus Alice

About This Movie

So, 'Lewis versus Alice' is a fascinating blend of stage and screen, directed by Macha Makeïeff. It’s based on her own play that pulls from Carroll’s 'Alice in Wonderland,' which is pretty intriguing. The atmosphere is surreal, as you might expect, with a dreamlike quality that plays well with the fantasy genre. The pacing can feel a bit uneven at times, but it adds to that whimsical chaos of Wonderland. Practical effects are used to great effect—lots of clever trickery that gives it a unique touch. The performances are engaging, with a sort of playful intensity that draws you in. It’s distinctive for how it merges theatricality with film, creating a kind of hybrid experience.
