AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks

ReaderKenka Let's be realistic.

Helloturia I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.

Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

jadavix "Dear Wendy" is a boring, unpleasant movie which is not nearly strange enough to be interesting. It doesn't have a believable moment or character in it. It's like a long elaborate joke with no punchline.The movie is about a group of kids who live in a town which I guess is supposed to be "Anytown, USA" but which I doubt is like any town, any where. It seems to consist of one street with an abandoned mine shaft at the end.The kids form a group called the dandies which is obsessed with guns. They obsessively study videos of gunshot wounds and practice target shooting down in the mine. But, get this: they're pacifists.A black kid joins their group though he does not obey their rules and there is a violent confrontation at the end.In films, the odd unexpected development helps maintain interest. In a movie in which none of the characters motivations make sense, none of their behaviour is explained or explicable, these developments are merely irritating. Watch "Dear Wendy" for examples.

peter-1850 I'm afraid that I don't really see the ironies that other reviewers seem to see. Maybe the film is too good, or maybe it's just difficult to be ironic about this sort of thing.It comes across, to me, as a documentary. This is just the sort of thing that children, particularly inadequate ones, do in that part of the world. The use of massive lethal force against a group of , essentially unarmed children (their weapons are ancient and don't work very well) also seems par for the course in that part of the world.I suppose that buying a real gun in a toyshop by mistake is a bit of a stretch, but, in the context, it seemed quite likely - I'd not be surprised if it had happened.So, what's the moral message? I suppose, if you have children, bring them up in a civilised country. That's all I can see.

Igby Bundy once in a life time, a movie comes along that makes you sob so unevenly that you have a slight attack of asthma. this movie is not one of them. however, this movie has so many high points that i completely glad i did not break down because otherwise i wouldn't have seen its amazing conclusion i loved its self contained setting, its amazing soundtrack (provided by The Zombies), and most of all its amazing philosophy. i, too, am a pacifist and now i, too, really want a gun. i think that i would buy a German war pistol and i would name it Edgar. This movie was a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-awesome! I seriously recommend taking a short amount of time out of your day to watch it.

imwithspaz While the cinematography was very pleasing to the eyes and the young actors did a commendable job, the story itself leaves something to be desired. Though it starts out with an interesting concept, Dear Wendy winds its way into a ridiculous hole. The "twists" are random and unfounded, probably there for the sole reason of providing conflict. Also, the movie tends to be sluggish: watching for an hour feels like two or three. On the positive side, the young actors did a very good job (for the most part). At times dramatic pauses cause more laughter than thought, but that's difficult to avoid with the script. Eye-catching camera angles were used, along with some interesting techniques. To sum up, the director, cinematographer, and actors are probably usually amazing at their jobs; however, if they enjoy their careers they should stay away from writing like this.
