The first Alice in Wonderland was a worldwide sensation, grossing over $1 billion and introducing young audiences to a radically different interpretation of Lewis Carroll’s classic novel, and turning film critics off in the process.
But does the sequel Alice Through the Looking Glass right the ship or sink even further in the rabbit hole (not to mix metaphors)? Our illustrious film critic William Bibbiani is here to walk you through the madness in the latest episode of Rapid Reviews, in which he gives you everything you need to know about the movies in a highly efficient 60 seconds!
So find out if Alice Through the Looking Glass will drive you mad as a hatter, and come back next Friday for an all-new, fast-paced episode!
