A film that tackles something as simple as everyday life and succeeds beatifully. The witty script and clever direction keep the film flowing, while the superb acting keeps it alive. It doesn't aim for the sky and for that reason it hits its mark.

Wonderland is well crafted from the editing to the acting, but it often feels like a television pilot for a calculatedly hip soap opera.

The film's realistic approach to storytelling and the strong performances mesh well with Winterbottom's stylistic flourishes.

It becomes one of those movies that hurt so good.

caught this on TV without knowing who it was by and I was instantly captivated. The first thing is that it's filmed and set where I live, around the Elephant and Castle and Walworth Road, and it's about the people I see every day. It's absolutely spot on about the kind of lives people around here lead and the way
