The Wonder — 4.5/5
As pretentious as its framing device sets the movie out to be, I loved it. That, coupled with the thaumatrope, are the prime showcases of a movie that is guiding you towards what to think. We look at these people as silly, yet we engage in that same silliness all day every day. We pay millions of dollars to create our fantasies, we fly people from around the globe to appear inside them, we make them put on a fake accent, we cut off the lights and put facts aside. Only ours is better, it's normal, it's less delusional, but not really. It's not just what you believe, but what you want to believe. No one wants to ruin a fantasy that creates joy; or purpose.
