What to Know

Critics Consensus

Alice Through the Looking Glass is just as visually impressive as its predecessor, but that isn't enough to cover for an underwhelming story that fails to live up to its classic characters.

Udita Jhunjhunwala Livemint The film misses Burton's odd charm, is largely devoid of humour and, in spite of Hathaway, Depp and Bonham Carter, is mostly a waste of time. Aug 15, 2019 Full Review Nigel Andrews Financial Times [A] bland, overblown, characterless spectacle. Rated: 2/5 Dec 31, 2016 Full Review Sara Michelle Fetters MovieFreak.com While little touches here and there can't help but excite the senses, the lack of a nuanced story or intriguing characterizations makes maintaining interest for all two hours utterly ridiculous. Rated: 1.5/4 Aug 9, 2016 Full Review Denise Pieniazek A Sala Llena (Argentina) Assuming that the literary work is only a starting point for inspiration, as happens here (the story completely deviates from the theme of the book of the same name), the narrative remains halfway without being entertaining enough, much less profound. Rated: 4/10 Jan 14, 2024 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review The movie's overarching theme remains that time is short, and so we must make the most of it. But, thanks to this movie, time is a thief, stealing two unrecoverable hours from our lives. Rated: 0.5/4 Apr 11, 2022 Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy The Walrus and the Carpenter are nowhere to be found in Alice Through the Looking Glass, meaning audiences will have to make do with the addition of Marty McFly and Captain Jack Sparrow.
