I found this film to be one of the most fascinating and beautifully made adaptations of Lewis Carroll's masterpiece: While the Disney version captured perfectly well the humor, joy and lighthearted elements of the "Alice in Wonderland" books, this movie does a great work portraying in a very original manner the other side of the same story, showing how dark and twisted it could be
And yet, this is strangely faithful to the original story (Well, at least to a certain point)
The result, in my opinion, was fairly impressive, being one of the best and most memorable works of Jan vankmajer, combining perfectly well stop-motion animation with live-action, while at the same time it includes many of the recurring motifs in the rest of the movies and shorts directed by this Czech filmmaker.
I would recommend this movie to any viewer who wasn't completely satisfied by the Disney version of this same story, since "Alice" is able to show the dark and mature side of what is often considered just an ordinary fairy tale, despite being much more complex than that.
9.5/10
