I watched this today, the first 20 minutes anyway. It's terrible. Does a child have to be psychotic to have an imagination. Apparently so. This little girl has serious problems. Obsessive, compulsive. Purposely hurting herself. Yet, her parents are in denial about her obvious very serious problems! The child is not in therapy or taking any medication. Her mother thinks the girl is gifted. It seems the child is not ill, she just has a unique way of seeing the world around her. After jumping compulsively on the stairs and repeatedly hurting herself she goes outside and sees the red queen in a colorful garden. A COMPLETE PSYCHOTIC BREAKDOWN! Isn't that great! We should celebrate this!! Isn't it wonderful! Believe me, this is sad. Throw in a little boy who just happens to be gay. Doesn't matter. The girl is mentally ill, the boy is gay. Now that I think about it, all the characters are a little off center. I suppose this all gets resolved by the end.
