Phoebe in Wonderland (2008) starring Elle Fanning, Patricia Clarkson, Felicity Huffman, Bill Pullman, Campbell Scott. Nine-year-old Phoebe (Fanning) wins the part of Alice in her school's production of "Alice in Wonderland." But Phoebe shows signs of mental illness -- obsessively counting her steps, spitting at fellow students, spewing inappropriate words. Her mother (Huffman) blames herself, because she is a work-at-home mom. As Phoebe's troubles continue, she begins to see characters from "Alice," who give her "advice." Finally, it turns out that Phoebe is actually a little girl with the early stages of Tourette syndrome, and it all makes sense. I found this to be an interesting and thought-provoking movie, and I'm glad I rented it. The subtitles are very good. Grade: B+
