This film, Come Away, attempts to explore imagination, yet seems created by individuals lacking that very quality. It’s not really a screenplay; it feels more like disparate elements forced together. Apparently, destroying one cherished children's story wasn’t enough, so this movie reimagines Alice and Peter Pan as biracial siblings with parents portrayed by David Oyelowo and Angelina Jolie. The narrative would only make sense if the entire thing unfolded entirely within either Neverland or Wonderland—which it decidedly does not. Experiences like this always bring to mind Fran Lebowitz’s assertion that art shouldn't be a matter of popular opinion, but rather an intellectual elite. Here, we have an interracial marriage situated in a historical setting where such a relationship would have been practically unthinkable. Overlooking the fight for equality feels disrespectful to those who sacrificed for it. What’s most disappointing is the filmmakers’ apparent hesitancy to fully commit to their choices; they give the dark-skinned Alice blonde highlights—something that wouldn't have existed in Victorian England. Is there a belief that this is how children of mixed heritage actually appear? Or are they worried about making the character “too black”? Despite all these diversions, it remains undeniable that the story itself is remarkably dull; you can criticize *Hook*, but at least it possessed a certain energy and charm. How inept do you have to be to borrow from two well-known characters and still produce something less than the combination of their individual strengths?
