Perhaps the problem is that we've finally reached a point within the broader culture wherein someone playing a classic children's or literary story straight without attempting multiple layers of clever-clever deconstruction, meta-analysis and grittiness have become the more interesting and radical approach. In any event, script issues and a sense of overfamiliarity makes 'Wendy' a slog. - Jake Watt Read Jake's full article... https://www.maketheswitch.com.au/article/review-wendy-visually-striking-narratively-clunky

I thought the trailer looked good so I gave this movie a shot. Hands down the worst movie I’ve ever seen. I cant believe this so called movie made it to the big screen. I hope these young actors can rebound and find themselves in another film after this treacherous start to their acting careers. Horrible storyline, horrible acting, horrible everything.
