Review of Wonder (2017) by S3Ver14N — 11 Mar 2021
A pleasant, life affirming movie with a positive message that originates from the source book and is continued in the campaign it spawned; Choose Kind. Acting in the movie is universally great - Owen Wilson plays Owen Wilson as always, and in this case it happens to fit rather well.
Although the plot largely lacks surprises, the juxtaposition of the different points of view for some of the major characters, including overlapping some of the timelines of the story works very well, adding a bit of interest to an otherwise linear, albeit entertaining plot.
This is simple, feel good popcorn movie fodder, with a message that is particularly needed in current times; "if you have a choice between being right and being kind, choose kind".
