Critics' reviews

"The mesmerizing performance of Fanning as the gifted and troubled young Phoebe sparks the picture."

Duane Byrge: The Hollywood Reporter
"Let Clarkson and Fanning take you to the rabbit hole of seductive enchantment that defines this movie. And don't ask what to do -- jump"

Peter Travers: Rolling Stone
"Elle Fanning is wondrous in Phoebe in Wonderland. But the movie is an uneven, unfocused amalgamation of ideas and moods that is at times deeply moving nonetheless."

Claudia Puig: USA Today
"It's a delicate, intelligent movie about modern parenthood and the pressures that children face, and it features a cast of talented actors who were clearly committed to the movie's message"

Mick LaSalle: San Francisco Chronicle
"Think of Phoebe in Wonderland as 'A Beautiful Mind,' only for kids"

Michael O'Sullivan: The Washington Post
