While the story deals with universal concerns – love, loss, mortality, parenting, and a yearning for contentment – it does so in a depressing and nonspiritual manner. These irreverent characters don’t appear to be a family that owns a Bible, let alone reads one. Filmed with harsh, natural light, using a roving camera and visual trickery such as slow motion and sped-up photography, this grimy portrait of a blue-collar English clan is so rife with strife that I questioned why anyone would want to see it. “Wonderland” may appeal to those who receive pleasure from Jerry Springer-type outlandishness, where satisfaction is garnered by viewing lives more unsettled than their own. But those seeking Biblical solutions to family struggles may find this film unsatisfying.
