Review of Wendy (2020) by Marakai — 28 Sep 2020
It’s been 8 years since Benh Zeitlin made his debut with the wonderfully accomplished Beasts of the Southern Wild in 2012. I loved his creative and uplifting approach to that film where he explored an epic story through the imagination of a child character and I enjoyed a lot about his follow-up Wendy, for the same reasons.
Admittedly, there are some issues with the narrative on occasion but this is an interesting reimagining of the Peter Pan story that works very well under Zeitlin’s emotional and soaring technique. It may not be as fully realised as Beasts but Zeitlin is an undoubtedly talented director.
