Would hope for a lot more from a Vinterberg/Von Trier combination. Found it very boring, hated the cinematography. Everything seemed fake - the town, the characters, the story. Some of the worst voice over I've ever heard, 99% of it was completely unnecessary. Poorly acted, hated it.

The Lost Boys…
Naively, a title like “Dear Wendy” might boil to surface great fancy in some people out there searching for a “Peter Pan Part Deux." Without researching I honestly wouldn’t put it past Disney to already have at least seven sequels and prequels straight to release for home viewing pleasure or even locked in their vault. Parental guidance assured, “Dear Wendy” in fact does invoke some like-minded spirit of Peter Pan and his lost boys, but isn’t for the average eyes and minds of the little his ‘n’ hers.
Acclaimed Denmark filmmaker Lars von Trier sits behind his thick observational typewriter with this screenplay, passing directorial duties to Thomas Vinterberg, a fellow co-founder of the Dogme 95 movement.…

It's a movie about the pacifistic love of guns gone awry. Pretty interesting stuff!

Laba ideja un asociacijas ar vesternu Trīriskā mērcē, bet izpildījums tomēr neizvelk.

A quaint little film with a great fixed sets and fine acting from its young cast. Lars Von Trier's script is witty and interesting and director Thomas Vinterberg succeeds in bringing all the quirkiness to the for front. Intriguing and entertaining.

Let me just say, I simply adore Alison Pill. Having said that, this Lars Von Trier scripted film is big on concept, but doesn't entirely deliver. Interesting, but uneven.

Uneven film about the love of guns. Lame third act.
