The Wonder
Set in the Irish Midlands in 1859 as an English nurse, Lib Wright, goes to a tiny village to observe what some see as a medical anomaly and others a miracle, that a girl has survived without food for months. Tourists flock to see 11-year-old Anna O’Donnell, and a journalist has come to cover the sensation as two strangers transform each other’s lives in a story of love pitted against evil.

Pretentious
An empty, boring movie with a needlessly sombre music track forcefully fitted in for no good reason. If not for my lousy habit of sitting through to the end of any movie that i start watching, I should have abandoned watching this movie a long time back. Some scenes went totally over my head. Why was the nurse pricking herself and letting blood every now and then. And the journalist character and their initial physical relationship.... what was that all about and why ? And the combination of a nurse and nun ? Didn't make sense to me.
There are better movies and better uses of your 90 minutes.
