Alice.in.wonderland.2010 |verified| Guide

: A tragic, eccentric figure whose loyal friendship with Alice provides the film's emotional core.

Perhaps most importantly, the film gave a generation of young women a different kind of heroine. Mia Wasikowska’s Alice doesn’t spend the film searching for a husband or a way home; she spends it searching for her own spine. In the final battle, she literally grows to 9 feet tall, sheds her dress for armor, and declares, "I make the path." It is a triumphant image that resonates far deeper than the film’s occasional CGI fuzziness. alice.in.wonderland.2010
