After years of impossible, over-the-top superhero movies and interstellar adventures, it's so soothing to see a movie about a simple girl next door. It's like a Christmas tale, even though Wonderwell was released in summer. Plus I prefer my kids watching Violets's adventures instead of some trashy horror about Freddy Kruger. There are a few bits in Wonderwell that are a little spooky, but it's generally pretty tame. You won't have to worry about your 12-year-old waking up from nightmares. The movie really reminds me of Doctor Who, but instead of the adventures of Clara Oswald, Violet is a real girl, not some being made of stardust. I guess that's why you feel compassion for her throughout the whole movie.
