Critics Consensus

Largely lacking the fairytale magic it seeks to conjure, Come Away is an initially intriguing fantasy that never really takes flight.

Mark Kermode

Kermode & Mayo's Film Review

I was really ready to be transported, and really disappointed when I wasn't. It's a real shame, because there's a lot of talent in this film but it just doesn't work.

Kevin Maher

The Times (UK)

Assembled with scattershot ineptitude by the Brave director Brenda Chapman, it smacks of a Ken Loach project rebooted by Nickelodeon, but not as compelling as that sounds.

Rated: 2/5

Empire Magazine

It never quite tumbles into Wonderland, but the ambition at play - and a top cast of supporting players - is just enough to let Come Away off the Hook.

Rated: 3/5

Combining the concepts that lead to Peter Pan's "Neverland" and Alice's "Wonderland" sounds like a promising idea. Maybe it could be like a "Pan's Labyrinth " or "Spirited Away", but let's face it, this movie was never going to be like one of those. This movie takes place in the "real world" but every now and then we will depart from that world and enters the children's' imagination. With the way they format this story, it could only really work if there could be both a magical and practical explanation for the events that transpire. That way it could be left up to audience's interpretation what was real and what was fake. Sadly "Come Away" gives conclusions that only makes sense if magic was involved. It is the typical, "a proper lady doesn't use their imagination" type of story. The snooty upper class look down upon Alice and Peter for them going off and playing. What they do is most unorthodox, and they do not approve. This trope has never worked for me, and the antagonists of this movie aren't over the top enough to be funny or human enough to be relatable. The child actors do a fine job, for the most part. There are a couple scenes that it is clear that they are child actors. But for a movie that has to rely so heavily on their performances they do a good enough job. There was potential for this film, but as is, you are better off using your imagination to make up a better movie.

Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars
