Come Away (2020)
Directed by Brenda Chapman this film stars David Oyelowo, Angelina Jolie, Keira Chansa and Jordan Nash. Two young children try to help their parents over come the death of their older brother.
Essentially this is a fan fiction mash up of Peter Pan and Alice's Adventures in Wonderland that never really manages to weave things together successfully. The film lacks real depth, it has a decent concept but it never manages to follow through. On the one hand it is nice to see some diverse casting in a period piece however I am really not sure how I feel about the way the film uses race as class and just pretends racism did not exist in the period, that makes me very uncomfortable.
2/5
