After my laptop decided to die yesterday, I spent my usual routine of staying up early into the morning hours watching a movie that I hadn't seen in a long time. I think it may have been the first movie I had ever watched on Netflix Instant View and I had forgotten why I had given it a 5 star rating. I remember now.
The movie is Phoebe in Wonderland. The title is apt for several reasons, the most obvious of which is an underlying connection that the main character of the movie, Phoebe Lichten (played by Elle Fanning), has to the character Alice of Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass. I don't want to spoil the movie for anyone, so I will just say that it is a beautiful story a loving family trying to deal with the very difficult issue of growing up when you have a few extra struggles and aren't quite the same as everyone else. Phoebe in Wonderland is still available on Netflix Instant View, so if you have Netflix and you have the time please watch it.
Namaste and Goodnight,
Luna
