"The Wonder" is a surprisingly effective film, in the fact that it successfully conveys the message it's attempting to deliver in a completely unexpected (borderline jarring) & yet admirably inventive manner (that somehow works brilliantly, despite the initial shock), reaffirming how stories provide life with meaning & our belief in them - even when doing so feels as though it should betray our own sense of logic - can ultimately help humanity save itself during the darkest of moments. Not only that but it ingeniously shows how that tradition (of spinning tales in to narratives) has survived through the progression of many eras, & in doing so, helps us make sense of our existence, gifting each moment we experience with purpose.
