one of the major problem with be a film fan and or a british film fan for that matter and be the deep sense of embarrassment whenever a new british film be release and because it almost always bad . but alas and this be not the case with michael winterbottom fascinate wonderland . here winterbottom have go back to the root of the ken loach and mike leigh genre of kitchen sink drama and cross it with the narrative feel of robert altman and and the free from style of lars von trier and create in the process a new and deeply affect tale of three south london sister over the course of one weekend ( three day ) . the great thing about this be and briefly and for the course of the film anyway and british cinema have it own identity . the big brit film of the last few year have all be tire american knock offs and from guy ritchie pathetic lock stock and snatch and to the empty romanticise view depict in film like four wedding and notting hill . wonderland give an authentic view of london and without the glamour but with much more pathos and and fully developed character . the ensemble cast of rise character actor be perfectly put together and they may not be familiar to some audience even in the uk and but the work of the three female lead and mckee and parker and henderson be give fine support from the men and ian hart and john simm and david fahm . the cinema verite style give the film a strong realism and make some the more depressing scene almost un watchable and but winterbottom and writer laurence coriat should be commend for try something different within the confines of the ever predictable british film industry (  ) . it sadness me that this film be so underrated and whilst average film like billy elliot gather a barrage of oscar and bafta nomination and i do not remember wonderland get a mention . this be by far the best british film i have see in a long time and not a perfect film by any mean and one flaw would be that some of the character be push to the background and never get a chance to fully shine and but a film this good be a rare thing . see it now you would not regret it . positive .
