Wonder ( PG ) *****
Silence is Golden !
‘ Tis the time for goodwill . Get in the holiday season by taking in Wonder . Made with considerable conviction this outstanding heartwarming tale from EOne Entertainment will leave many a wet eye in the audience . Go ahead and feel the love at special Cineplex Cinemas around BC .
Good fortune by far rests with good health . Happily married are the Pullman clan , headed by so-much-in-love Isabel and Nate Pullman . Suitably matched Julia Roberts and Owen Wilson capture the essence of both being in love and always putting the welfare and well-being of their kids first . Like most parents , raising kids is a hard-enough task - only for the Pullmans they have a more perilous road to hold . Whole things are fine with their high school daughter young Auggie is “ plagued ” with a handicap .
No one likes being an outsider . Forced to live in a world not entirely of his making is Jacob Tremblay . 2017 Thanks to a physical deformity the young lad must endure all sorts of dilemmas facing childhood . Standing out in a negative way to some leads to taunts and drama and becomes a burden to Auggie and the entire family , just how bad things get and how to cope helps turn Wonder into a superb tale about the underdog facing down your demons and maybe even changing a few minds ( and ultimately hearts ).
Given a truly wonderful script from director Stephen Chbosky , Wonder turns out to be a heartfelt look about differences , bullying and coming of age . Throw in a terrific turn by Mandy Patinkin as an educator with the wisdom of Solomon and you have an enduring entertainment experience through and through . ●
