Review of Wonderland

I must say I understand Mr Winterbottom. I understand him, but don't share his feelings. He must think it's such a wonder that so many people living one around others don't know what to do to their lives. This is what this film speaks about. Normal people, even vulgar people, who don't know how to face their problems. It's some kind of kaleidoscope of the vulgar man. I suppose Mr Winterbottom finds it somewhat moving, but the question you should ask to yourself before seeing this movie is: do I want to simply get moved seeing poor people? (intellectually poor, I mean. The fact that they have more or less money is unimportant) If the answer is yes, perhaps this will be a good film, but forget about obtaining nothing more from it, because its characters haven't got nothing for you; in fact, they haven't enough for themselves. For me, this film has nothing but a "documentary interest", but probably the best you could do is see it and decide.

In addition, the movie is intentionally style-less in its shooting. The music (by Michael Nyman) is the only talented detail.
