Come Away
Come Away is a 2020 fantasy drama film directed by Brenda Chapman (in her live-action directorial debut), written by Marissa Kate Goodhill, and starring David Oyelowo, Anna Chancellor, Angelina Jolie, Clarke Peters, David Gyasi, with Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Michael Caine, and Derek Jacobi. The film is an homage to the stories of Peter Pan and Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. The characters of those stories are siblings who try to help their parents overcome the death of their eldest son.
Come Away had its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival on January 24, 2020, and was released in the United States on November 13, 2020, by Relativity Media and was released in the United Kingdom on December 18, 2020, by Signature Entertainment. It is Relativity's first theatrically released film since 2016's Masterminds.
A mother reads "The Stolen Child" by William Butler Yeats to her three children, two boys and one girl, and recounts a story of three siblings; Alice, David (The White Rabbit) and Peter, who live with their parents: Jack (The King of Hearts) and Rose Littleton (The Queen of Hearts). The children dwell in a house by a forest on the outskirts of London letting their imaginations run wild.
Alice acts mature in contrast to Peter who regards the local woods as his domain (during one of their trips they discover an eagle feather and a downed boat, with the siblings wondering if they could get it sea-worthy).
Tragedy strikes one day when David while pretending to fight pirates during a storm, falls into the river, is struck by lightning, and dies. The family copes in different ways; with Jack, a model maker, returning to his bad gambling habits and Rose intending to make a green felt hat that would have been David's birthday present.
To make payments, Peter and Alice go to sell a family heirloom silver pocket watch, during which they shelter a group of street urchins who have pickpocketed an intimidating criminal.
Both siblings meet an eccentric shopkeeper, Hatter (Mad Hatter), who leads them to a money lender and lower crime boss Captain James or CJ (Captain Hook) who, unbeknownst to both of them, is their uncle. Peter later runs into the very same street kids he met earlier who reveal they are known as the Lost Boys and that they have been to a place known only to children called Never Neverland and offer to take him there. Jack later visits his brother to call off his debt collectors, with a jealous James crippling his brother (as a show of loyalty to his crime paymasters) leading to Jack losing his hand.
Peter responds by seeking out these Lost Boys to help rob James of the fortune of gold coins Peter spied on earlier that he is safeguarding for the various criminal organizations of London's underworld. When James catches his nephew in the act Peter cuts off his uncle's hand in a sword duel before fleeing.
