OMG, I so loved this movie and just had to share it with you all. I had never even heard of it, ever before 2 days ago. The only reason I found out about it is that I looked at the wiki for The Labyrinth which was one of my favs when I was a child. Its in a way a remake of Labyrinth but they put a completely different spin on things and it has a much more fleshed out story. They took out the baby element completely and its more focuses on a girl's struggle with growing up and dealing with her mother being in the hospital and hating herself for what she said to her mother just before. In an amazingly creative way that stretches the imagination it reflects a lot that I can empathize with from my own teen years. The creativity of this movie is simply amazing and honestly, if I hadn't read that it was a remake of Labyrinth I would never have guessed. haha I can see the resemblance to the theme but they completely changed it and made it much better IMO.
Is it a weird movie? Most definitely! And that is one of the things I positively love about it. In an age where movie makers tend to be lazy and rely so heavily on special effects and dull cookie cutter themes this is a breath of fresh air. I'm so very glad I stumbled across this movie. Its a shame that it wasn't a theater release or I would have found it sooner. This one is definitely going on my favorites collection. If you are a fan of totally crazy and fantasifull stories like Wizard of Oz and Alice in Wonderland I'm betting you are going to love this movie.
