Based on the New York Times bestseller, WONDER tells the incredibly inspiring and heartwarming story of August Pullman, a boy with facial differences who enters fifth grade, attending a mainstream elementary school for the first time.
What elevates this drama about a brave 10-year-old boy named Auggie (Jacob Tremblay), born with a genetic facial deformity, is the myriad ways in which Wonder catches us just a little off-guard and puts lumps in our throats even when Auggie is off-screen. With Julia Roberts and Owen Wilson. - Three stars
