An intimate portrait of three generations of one family during a weekend in London. As boisterous "Bonfire Night" celebrations are held in the chilly November weather, the family members and those closest to them find their paths intersecting and their ties evolving. While the setting is specific and contemporary, the concerns are universal and eternal: love, loss, mortality, the family ties that bind, parenting and a yearning for contentment in this world.

Critics Consensus

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.

3/4

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.

Michael Winterbottom's slice-of-life drama is well-acted but rambling and ineffective.
