The Wonder Review: A Haunting Exploration of Oppressive Faith

A grieving English nurse travels to Ireland after the Great Famine to observe a child who supposedly hasn't eaten in months. Based on the novel by Emma Donoghue, The Wonder is a bleak and desperately haunting story of oppressive religious faith. The girl deemed a "miracle" by devout villagers is also branded a fraud by skeptical outsiders. Florence Pugh delivers a thoughtful and compassionate performance as a weary protagonist searching for the truth. She navigates a minefield of ignorant manipulation in a dreary, impoverished setting. Your heart will ache and soar as terrible secrets are finally revealed.
