Wondewell Movie

I recently got around to watching “Wonderwell”, Carrie Fischer’s last movie. Overall I enjoyed it, I think probably for a lot of the same reasons that a lot of reviewers were uninspired by it. It’s not a cut and dried fantasy movie where you easily know what’s going on. Instead you’re left with lot’s of questions. It’s clearly about female adolescence but what does the mirror world represent? Why are the sister witches in conflict with each other? Is the flower symbolism too heavy-handed or just right?

If you like fantasy movies that deal with real issues and don’t have interminable fight scenes you might enjoy Wonderwell.
