The Wonder (I) (2022)
8/10
Childhood abuse, trauma and family
17 November 2022
Warning: Spoilers
I'll admit I was abused as a child. Badly. This movie resonates with me because half of your soul wants to be loyal to your family but your real true self wants to escape. Back in the 1800s there were no options.

God knows how many children died because of religion. This movie is about trying to escape that dynamic. It's beautifully filmed, the score fits perfectly and the set design and atmosphere make it so impactful.

I was made sick (physically, always in the hospital or in bed as a child) but was still loyal to my family not knowing why I was. Now as I'm healing I know it was because I was abused. This movie touches on that. I won't go into detail but it is extremely powerful. Enjoy! (As I cry writing this review sadly).
