New “Alice”: Reviews Don’t Matter
“Alice Through the Looking Glass,” a follow-up to the big hit “Alice” of 2010, has wretched reviews. But it will still do business. (Read some here.) THR says: ‘Johnny Depp is convincingly vulnerable and forlorn, all while maintaining the Hatter’s otherworldly eccentricity, and Mia Wasikowska has the requisite grit. But Alice’s mission feels as manufactured as the story’s whatsits and doodads, as Bobin struggles to infuse make-believe with emotion.’
