Jacob Tremblay gave a better performance than the current oscar front runner (Gary Oldman) but still no nomination... how come Chief Willoughby?

i know we're living in an alternate universe because owen wilson was in this and he never said "wow" at least once
Review by davidehrlich ★★★ 7

Wonder” is as manipulative as movies get, but that isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Sometimes a story needs to steer you; sometimes a story tells you what to feel, but redeems itself by virtue of the sincerity with which it shows why you should feel that way. In much the same way that fables and fairy tales exist to making a particular point, subtlety would be counterintuitive to the very nature of what this film is trying to do. And really, no one should be expecting Chekhov from an inspirational tear-jerker about a deformed little kid whose parents are played by Julia Roberts and Owen Wilson.

As generous as it is linear (and only emotionally pornographic towards the end), “Wonder” may be manipulative, but it’s also instructive. It’s a how-to guide for kindness — a good lesson for kids, and a helpful reminder for adults. It’s not like the world couldn’t use one.

Review by Ty McMillan ★★★½

Wonder is a sweet film with an uplifting message about August (Auggie) Pullman. Auggie, born dealing with Franceschetti–Klein syndrome, is a physically deformed but mentally sharp boy. Wonder explores a year in Auggie's life and family dynamic. It's a film that goes only as dark as necessary to paint the picture, and instead focuses most of its energy on emphasizing hope. While it may not be the tightest script ever written, the time spent with the Pullman family feels believable. Add in a little fantasy and dream sequences, and the run time is filled with as many smiles and laughs as there are tears. The standout performance is certainly Jacob Tremblay as Auggie. The stellar makeup certainly helps a great…

Das Wunder blieb aus
Review by Luca Giordano ★★★½

It is very interesting to see how the problems of the protagonist influence all the people around him.
This film is an invitation to be kind with everyone, because you can not know what battle a person is fighting.

Review by tobym ★★★★

Now this film gets the waterworks going. It is a truly beautiful message with well rounded performances and art design.

I am really impressed with the film and how it missed the possibility of being another run of the mill comedy drama with no substance. Instead, it was smart, pretty and moving.
