Distributor Notes: This heartfelt, fantastical story of a troubled, imaginative girl (Elle Fanning, The Door in the Floor) devoted to Alice in Wonderland explores the agonies of growing up as an outsider and the complexities of parenting. Oscar nominee* Felicity Huffman (Transamerica, TV's Desperate Housewives) gives one of the most powerful performances of her career as Phoebe's guilt-ridden mother. She and her perplexed husband (Bill Pullman, Independence Day) initially see Phoebe's unusual behavior as signs of creativity, but with the help of an unconventional drama teacher (Oscar nominee** Patricia Clarkson, Lars and the Real Girl), they soon realize that their daughter is in danger of falling "through the looking glass." *Best Actress: Transamerica, 2005 **Best Supporting Actress: Pieces of April, 2003

Christophe Beck: 

"Elle Fanning is wondrous in PHOEBE IN WONDERLAND....It emerges partly a realistic character study of a troubled child, partly a treatise about the tyranny of conformity over imagination and partly a hallucinatory fantasy."
"Think of PHOEBE IN WONDERLAND as A BEAUTIFUL MIND, only for kids....Fanning's performance stands up to Crowe's portrayal of mentally ill mathematician John Nash."
3 stars out of 5 -- "Clarkson is at her brilliant best in PHOEBE IN WONDERLAND....Huffman and Pullman excel in their roles..."
