Come Away

5/10 - creative mix of Peter Pan and Alice in Wonderland lacks the punch it needs to fully explore the interesting juxtaposition of staying young forever and having to grow up

I love fantasy and the two movies mentioned above. However this was slow, depressing, and the few fantasy parts in it were weird and annoying. It felt like they didn't know their target audience. It was not for kids, nor adults to enjoy. I can't see teens liking it either. This was just a melting pot of nonsense.

Despite the stellar cast, the film is a mess. The story is confusing and doesn't go anywhere. I was honestly bored.

A drama without adventures. It is about the antecedent story before being Peter Pan and Alice in Wonderland. Nonsense in many situations. Quality. Parsimonious to the extreme. With a situation modeled on confusion. Although the approach is good, it stays with the attempt and ruins the classics of Peter Pan and Alice in Wonderland. It is interesting that the protagonists are black. The few effects are quality. The era well recreated and good changing rooms. Good performances. A failed attempt.

2 out of 5 stars.

Come Away is a fantasy drama film about a family struggling with debt. Peter (Jordan Nash) and his sister Alice (Keira Chansa) live in a fantasy world. Where they try to escape from there reality where there father is struggling with a debt.

The plot plays with the real world setting mixing it with a fantasy out come. As Alice sees a perspective in Alice in Wonderland. And Peter in a Peter Pan story. Where he meets a group of mysterious kids in the forest that try to play bandits in stealing from bad people.

The story is dull and depressing. The mash up is boring. The cast ensemble did a decent job. But the script did nothing to make the characters stick out. It is a boring depressing fantasy drama that does nothing to make it stand out as a film.
