37-year-old woman, widowed, mother of two. That sounds hard enough. The Angle of the movie is really refreshing and healing. The meeting between Louise and Pierre, it's kind of crazy. Why Pierre has a sudden crush on Louise. There is no process of getting along between the two people, and Pierre has a good feeling and a sense of security for Louise. Pierre's autistic. He should have a stress reaction to being hit by a car, but he's looking at flowers. These are the things that movies don't make sense. Healing type is still very strong, if there are difficulties in life, after watching this movie really want to stick to it, do not give up, there will always be a solution. Pierre and Louise's love, as a whole, was too much of a surprise.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

The movie turns out to be a newer version of the "Rain Man", being on the one hand really calm and lovely but on the other hand it offers much fun and comedic value.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars

Fascinating story of an asperger man accidentally meeting a woman, both made for each other. Well done and convincing.

Caution doesn't prevent the movie from sliding into realms of kitsch, even if it's a kitsch that tries to disguise its tracks beneath a cinematic veneer of gentleness.

El antepenúltimo mohicano

A film where the fascinating chemistry of its main characters stand out, as well of the subtle way to tell a sentimental story that leaves such a sweet taste in the viewer. [Full review in Spanish]

Rated: 3/5

Everything in The Sense of Wonder may be just a little too good to be true, but it's intelligent escapism.
