1.0 out of 5 stars Worse than a ripoff ! Mar 21 2010
By B. T Weddleton - Published on Amazon.com

Worse than just a boring, repetitive ripoff off old biographies, this film "stars" the director's daughter mugging for the camera over and over. The director's own bias towards the mystical warps Lewis Carroll into some chemical character. The most awful part here is the terribly Photoshopped picture of Lewis Carroll embracing and kissing Alice Liddell !? This is shown maybe 10 times throughout the film. If there is a Liddell or Dodgson estate extant, they should sue.

Please, I threw away 20 bucks for this trash. I hope I can prevent someone else from doing the same. Use the cash to buy one of the fine Lewis Carroll biographies available.

1.0 out of 5 stars Seriously? April 20 2010
By Melody Green - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase
I have seen several good documentaries about the life of Lewis Carroll; this is not one of them, because it is filled with misinformation. For one example, every time the narrator discusses the family of Alice Liddell, a picture is shown of Carroll with the wife and children of George MacDonald, another Victorian author. Clearly very little research on Carroll himself went into this project, because it spends a lot of time focusing on assumptions that were made about the author long after he died. Also, a lot of time is spent trying to prove that Carroll had a tenuous grasp on reality, and this is treated as though it is a good thing. If you want a documentary with poor computer graphics and a lot of time spent off topic, this would be a great DVD. But if you actually want to learn something about Lewis Carroll, I recommend that you keep looking.

4.0 out of 5 stars Thorough look at Lewis Carroll through the looking glass Mar 17 2010
By B. Hauser - Published on Amazon.com
If you're not a Lewis Carroll/Alice fan, this documentary may be too much, but for real lovers of Carroll's incredible imagination, or if you're new to Alice in Wonderland, this is great stuff. There's a ten-minute silent version of Alice circa 1920 to contrast with the current Johnny Depp/Tim Burton offering, and enough historical context and conspiracy innuendo to spark imagination, discussion and investigation. I have no idea if Lewis Carroll had an inappropriate interest in young girls, or a drug habit, or laced his books with mystical, religious propaganda (I think probably none of the above) but it's still interesting to speculate. John Tenniel's original illustrations from the book are a highlight too.
