overall, sociopolitical implications notwithstanding, "Come Away" is just a heart-rending, joyful, and gorgeous movie that everyone should take their kids to go see, if you love the stories of "Alice In Wonderland" and "Peter Pan" especially
a wealth of familiar storybook material and a cast including Angelina Jolie and David Oyelowo will draw attention, but a handsome production and beautiful cast aren't enough to get this fantasy off the ground
a smart, stylish mash-up of "Peter Pan" and "Alice in Wonderland"; "Come Away" may not hold a candle to the stories it references, but it shines with an illuminating and aspirational light all its own
a daring and gutsy contemplation of family bonds and loss that dares to rewrite two of history's most beloved children's stories of all time; In spite of these storytelling jitters, I still find Come Away commendable and endearing
"Come Away" doesn't exactly come together smoothly, but there's enough heart, charm, surprisingly dark drama, a firm grasp on tone, and resplendent visuals to forgive the hodgepodge construction
