Review of Wonder (2017) by Movieman56 — 17 Nov 2017

This is a great movie, let me just say that.

Based off the best-selling novel, Wonder centers around a young boy named August Pullman, who was born with facial deformities, as he tries to fit in at his new school, Beecher Prep.

The movie is one of the most heart-churning emotional movies I've seen this year. It shows us how the way you look doesn't change who you are on the inside, that we shouldn't judge one another for the way they look or the way they dress or behave, that it's the heart deep down that matters. At least once I saw August face a problem whether it be bullying or trying to fit in, and thought "Hey, I've had to deal with that once.". The movie makes us remember the hardships we had to face through school and life as a kid. It makes you look at this young boy and understand the pain he feels, and feel sorry for him. When he's happy, you're happy. When he's sad, you're sad. When he's angry, your angry. The movie masterfully conveys our emotions, which is what drama movies should do.

If you're wanting to treat your kids to a movie that gives them good morals, Wonder is your movie.
