The Wonder (2022) | Ratings & Reviews

Compelling and ambitious, The Wonder excels in its most ambiguous and mysterious moments. Pugh’s performance is the magnetic force at the heart of the film, a slow but powerful burn.

"Pugh’s sensuality, passion and human sympathy are the driving forces of a movie which might otherwise teeter under the weight of its contrivances..."

The GuardianThe Guardian

"An evenhanded but ultimately preposterous adaptation of Emma Donoghue’s novel..."

VarietyVariety

"The Wonder often skims along the surface when it should cut deeper..."

IndieWireIndieWire

"The film will be remembered primarily for the monumental performance by Florence Pugh..."

NPRNPR

"A rare misfire from director Sebastián Lelio, whose approach... is far too plain to be mysterious or stirring."

IGNIGN

"There’s a deep emotional seam that runs through The Wonder..."
