They run away, but now the killer's after them - however after Eddie visits a dolphin show, he's more concerned about their life than his.
"PopcornQ Review
From the creator of Letter to Brezhnev, a completely mad concoction of rent boys, arias, and dolphinariums. Eddie is a shy teen queen who watches old weepies with his mum; his best pal Michael takes him to a local Liverpool drag disco hosted by a gingham-gowned Robbie Coltrane. When the boys witness a gangland murder, they head south--fast--to Brighton (Britain's Russian River) in the backseat of an aging opera star's Bentley. Things get weirder when Eddy starts skinny-dipping with a dolphin called Sooty, and Michael starts sleeping with the diva. Soon they're pursued by a saber-wielding assassin (played by pin-up Bruce Payne) and that's when Eddie's lip-synching to Marilyn's hits just isn't enough. Made at the same time as Maurice, Wonderland couldn't be further from England's usual couture-and-coiffeur gay sensibility. At each turn dottier and more complicated,Wonderland shows how gay films don't have to be genre copycats. Is it a thriller? A musical? A working-class comedy or same-sex Big Blue? One part social realism, two parts surrealism--you get the sense that author Frank Clarke either lost control or just transcribed a good bad dream. Either way, the result is mostly heavenly. "
