In Sebastián Lelio's 'The Wonder,' Florence Pugh pits science against religion in order to discover the truth about a mysterious girl in Ireland. Our TIfF22 review:
The Wonder begins with an acknowledgment of the artifice inherent to what director Sebastián Lelio has created for us. While all films are themselves illusions, rarely does the very opening shot remind the audience of this. Over a glimpse at an almost empty warehouse of some kind that appears clean and sterile to the eye, we hear narration from lead Florence Pugh who begins monologuing about the film itself. She does so not in character, but as the actress herself.
Lib, on the other hand, is skeptical of almost everything that is playing out. The more she attempts to learn about the family and what is taking place, the more she grows to realize that her job is merely meant to affirm the supposed “miracle” they've received. While she does not believe in any faith, the family of the girl and the many visitors who come to see her are devout to a potentially dangerous degree.
