Sebastian Lelio's "The Wonder" is a thought provoking film that focuses on the idea and effect of religion and belief.
I personally thought it was pretty good. It does well at building suspense but I personally found the ending very underwhelming, and it did drag a bit in the middle.
The highlight of the film was probably Kíla Lord Cassidy's performance as Anna. She did so well at portraying a troubled child blinded by faith.
I did want to mention that this film could be potentially triggering to people with eating disorders or issues surrounding eating or fasting. Due to having issues in the past with eating, i did find it a bit triggering in some scenes.
7/10.
