Shortly put, this movie is about a little girl, Alexanderia, who's been hospitalized and meets a grown-up patient who tells her wild fantasies using familiar characters to lore her to steal him medication.
Cinematically (visually, artistically, aesthetically, etc.) this movie is one of the most pleasing I've seen. It generally revolves around the use of vivid colors filmed on location in a long list of exotic locations (Bali, India...). The directing, acting, and dialog I thought were done exceptionally well. Alexandria could not have been done better. These things were done so well I think the average viewer will forgive the fact that the story line falls short big time.
I'm hesitant to use the word 'slow' when describing this movie because that implies there are scenes that should have been cut out or that it's too long, which isn't true at all. I'm going to say that this movie lacked a certain intensity that hooks and captivates and audience (save for a couple short parts). The movie revolves around a fantasy story that comes off flimsy as it is seemingly made up as the storyteller relays it. The result is a storyline that doesn't make you wonder at all where it's going because you know it's no where.
I'll end it by saying this: Had the storyline been as good as the rest of the movie, there's not a doubt in my mind that this movie would easily reach IMDb top 50.
