Melodrama typically features an exaggerated acting style that emphasizes strong emotions and clear distinctions between good and evil characters. Actors often use broad gestures, heightened vocal delivery, and dramatic facial expressions to convey intense feelings, aiming to evoke strong emotional responses from the audience. This style supports the narrative's heightened stakes and moral clarity, often resulting in a theatrical and larger-than-life performance.

Is the acting style expressionism used in 'Alice in Wonderland'?

No, it was not. Expressionist acting is something that one would need years to learn. Most (if not all) of modern film actors rarely look into something as complex as expressionism, and so it would be a VERY long shot that the director had found a nearly full cast of people who understood it and could perform using this style. I would say that the type of acting is more likely to be Naturalism.
