Overview

The police investigation that followed uncovered two versions of the events leading up to the brutal murders - both involving legendary porn actor John Holmes.

Rarely has so much of so little consequence been so closely examined.

Geoff Pevere, Toronto Star

Sometimes Wonderland does make you wonder why you're wasting your time with these losers. But there's also a lot here that stays with you.

Jay Boyar, Orlando Sentinel
Rotten

The main interest here is the acting, which is, by turns, entertaining or just entertainingly bad, with lots of grungy seriousness and Method-trained twitching, but also some moments of real gusto.

Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail

A film whose effects are as hard to wash away as blood.

Michael O'Sullivan, Washington Post
Rotten

Overblown, overheated, overdirected, overacted, overlong and over here, in the local bijoux.

Stephen Hunter, Washington Post
