Wonder

Fresh: Starring a terrific Jacob Tremblay as a bullied boy with facial deformities and Julia Roberts as his mom, this drama based on the R. J. Palacio book that nearly everyone has read and wept over has surprising dimension and delicacy. – Peter Travers, Rolling Stone, Nov 19, 2017

Fresh: Maybe this little movie about a kid with a facial disorder isn't really about a kid with a facial disorder at all, but about whatever you and I choose to see in it. And if that's not art, I don't know what is. – Bilge Ebiri, Village Voice, Nov 20, 2017

Fresh: I can understand where there is value in showing this film to younger children because the message, albeit sanitized, will resonate. – James Berardinelli, ReelViews, Dec 4, 2017

Rotten: Wonder is a well-crafted, well-intentioned movie. But it also downplays some important economic, emotional, medical, and psychological realities...it missed a chance to better represent the experiences of children who are already so widely misunderstood. – Ariel Henley, The Atlantic, Dec 21, 2017
