The Wonder doesn’t quite stick with you in the way similar movies often do. A central theme involves a conflict between scientific reasoning and faith. The townspeople are deeply religious, viewing the girl as a divine message and a blessing for their community. This aspect is well-developed, drawing parallels to societal behavior today. However, the film seems to overestimate its own importance; it's riddled with minor inconsistencies and plot points that don’t quite add up. I found myself engaged for a while, but the conclusion felt rushed and disappointing. The acting elevates the entire production. Florence Pugh delivers an outstanding performance, and I’m eager to see her in future projects. She conveys emotions exceptionally well, and her chemistry with Kila Lord Cassidy is convincing. Speaking of Cassidy, she was also impressive; she appeared remarkably poised and capable for a film of this nature. It was surprising to learn that this is essentially her first significant role, given how limited her previous work seems to be. The supporting cast performed adequately as well. Ultimately, the movie’s concept proved stronger than its execution. While the performances were strong enough to keep me invested, they shouldn't be the sole reason for watching. It’s an acceptable film and among the better offerings on Netflix, though that isn’t a particularly high standard. Score: 64% | Verdict Decent
