Exhibition - Audience Reaction

Press coverage:Todd McCarthy (Variety) praised it for its "moments of delight, humor and bedazzlement", but then said "it also becomes more ordinary as it goes along, building to a generic battle climax similar to any number of others."
Michael Rechtshaffen (The Hollywood Reporter) said "Burton has delivered a subversively witty, brilliantly cast, whimsically appointed dazzler that also manages to hit all the emotionally satisfying marks. Ultimately, it's the visual landscape that makes Alice's newest adventure so wondrous, as technology has finally been able to catch up with Burton's endlessly fertile imagination." Owen Gleiberman (Entertainment Weekly) said "Alice in Wonderland, written by the girl-power specialist Linda Woolverton, is a strange brew indeed: murky, diffuse, and meandering, set not in a Wonderland that pops with demented life but in a world called Underland that's like a joyless, bombed-out version of Wonderland."
Roger Ebert (Chicago Sun-Times) gave the film 3 out of 4 and said "Alice plays better as an adult hallucination, which is how Burton rather brilliantly interprets it until a pointless third act flies off the rails."
