Come Away

2 out of 5 stars.

Come Away is a fantasy drama film about a family struggling with debt. Peter (Jordan Nash) and his sister Alice (Keira Chansa) live in a fantasy world. Where they try to escape from there reality where there father is struggling with a debt.

The plot plays with the real world setting mixing it with a fantasy out come. As Alice sees a perspective in Alice in Wonderland. And Peter in a Peter Pan story. Where he meets a group of mysterious kids in the forest that try to play bandits in stealing from bad people.

The story is dull and depressing. The mash up is boring. The cast ensemble did a decent job. But the script did nothing to make the characters stick out. It is a boring depressing fantasy drama that does nothing to make it stand out as a film.

5/10 - creative mix of Peter Pan and Alice in Wonderland lacks the punch it needs to fully explore the interesting juxtaposition of staying young forever and having to grow up

Maybe it ain't a masterpiece, but the 1 or 2 ratings are ridiculous. I believe people have the wrong expectations. It's about that imagination of children during very real life experiences. The movie is layered between the sad and hard reality of life and the innocent dreams and fantasy of a child. The links between two popular stories is fun to see. If you get the clue of this movie, I'm sure you'll love it. Go in the wrong expectations, you might be disappointed... but try to be realistic when you rate a movie. Look at the acting, the script and the meaning of the film.

I love fantasy and the two movies mentioned above. However this was slow, depressing, and the few fantasy parts in it were weird and annoying. It felt like they didn't know their target audience. It was not for kids, nor adults to enjoy. I can't see teens liking it either. This was just a melting pot of nonsense.

Read the basic info in this and it sounded great

Wow, couldn't have been more wrong. It gets 3 points for the lovely acting from the youngsters

The film itself is so slow and boring

It looked like it was about to get going with 15 minutes to go and my daughter said maybe this is just the first part.

Well no such luck. 5 minutes of "adventure " in the whole film I would say

Don't bother people!
