Wonderland - 1999 - 7/10
Three sisters, one married, one divorced, one single, meet up periodically to catch up.
Fairy tale does not describe their daily grind.
And yet, they still hope, they put themselves “out there,” whether dating or siring.
Dating in the 90’s. Prospective princes are a countless lot.
Very few Mr. Rights, or Right-Now, just blunted encounters.
The photography is hypnotic, the street scenes immersive.
Fabulous film, this is the bitter tonic to RomComs.
The flower of romance here seems a lonely bloom struggling in the wastes.
