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

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.

stephen chbosky knows how to touch your heart then rip it right out of your chest. this movie is definitely a wonder.. 

i’ve seen enough movies to know how many people it takes to produce one so i have to wonder why no one did anything to stop the “jacob tremblay has a braided rattail” subplot

my man daveed is so talented!!!!

When given the choice between being right or kind, choose kind.

A sweet movie that shows every person has multiple dimensions to them. We love Auggie and sympathize with him, but sometimes we get angry at him. There were some subplots that I thought were incongruent, but if the creators could get a few tears out of the death of a dog, why not right? With a film that is trying to pass on a strong message, like Wonder, you have to expect the cheese.

omg i read the book years ago and cried and i cried even more in the movie he’s so precious

In der Regel bevorzuge ich bei Filmen auch eher "schwarzen Kaffee", aber manchmal hab ich eben auch Lust auf einen Frappuccino mit extra Sahne, extra Sirup und extra Schokostreuseln. Dieser Film ist letzteres.

cried like a bitch

everyone's favorite book in six grade

only here instantely crying all the fucking scene

Es de estas pequeñas pelis que de vez en cuando viene bien ver. Emotiva, con muchísimos trucos muy vistos, pero con las actuaciones buenas y el alma necesaria para que más allá de convencionalismos te compre.

Adorable.

Powerful and sentimental without being overly so. A great range of perspectives of a very challenging subject. Really enjoyed seeing things from the different view points of the different characters and the film doesn’t shy away from portraying them. Pretty stunning performance from the lead actor. Julia Roberts is also great. Really tried hard to like Owen Wilson especially in this role but I found his performance as one of the only negative things about the film. Unsure why he was cast in this role as I feel he comes across disingenuous in everything he says. Unsure if this is his comedy style showing through? I thought that this spoiled some of the attempts at genuinely touching moments between him and his son. He does have some amusing quips when interacting with his family though.
