Critics Consensus

Wonder doesn't shy away from its bestselling source material's sentiment, but this well-acted and overall winsome drama earns its tugs at the heartstrings.

Teddy B

Well-intended and genuinely heart-wrenching at times, but, just like its novel counterpart, it splits its attention down so many avenues that it seems to lose its focus and overall purpose.

This was not only one of the most unexpectedly wonderful surprises of the decade but possibly throughout my whole move-going life. Expectations were extremely low - I wasn't familiar with the book, but everything seemed to indicate this would be a mawkish, overly sentimental Lifetime-worthy snoozefest. Much to my delight and surprise, this turned out to be a fantastic, heartwarming and truly emotional experience. I'm generally not a crier unless a father and son are playing catch in a field of corn, but I have seen WONDER three times and am a blubbering mess every single time. I love how it takes the time to flesh out so many of the supporting roles, which makes many of the events that happen not only more meaningful but more understandable. This should be required viewing in schools!

A movie everyone has to see. The world is way too full of hatred. Be king, everyone is fighting their own battles.

I didn't feel as attached as when reading the book, because the book is aweeesome... The movie is a good adaptation tbh, though I didn't feel as connected because there were some moments missing, and practically every episode from the book has memorable things IMO. Also, the storyline was a bit fast, like It felt I was watching a chronological summary instead of a more detailed adventure, that's why I'm glad I could finally experience the source material before seeing the adaptation, as the first time doing it, and have an honest opinion about it. Ok, but I don't wanna pretend that I'm unsatisfied or something, I'm just able to see as a finally good reader, that is very difficult to capture the magic of a book and represent it very loyally into the big screen, but I admit I enjoyed comparing both versions while watching this, and I cried a little at the end :').

Wonder is a sentimental family film. While it's not devoid of clichés, these are offset by solid performances and a winsome, uplifting story told with tenderness.

The Atlantic

Wonder is a well-crafted, well-intentioned movie. But it also downplays some important economic, emotional, medical, and psychological realities...it missed a chance to better represent the experiences of children who are already so widely misunderstood.

I can understand where there is value in showing this film to younger children because the message, albeit sanitized, will resonate.

Rated: 2.5/4

Every Movie Has a Lesson

Between that life lesson of choosing kindness and many invaluable others, the film's buoyant messages are the moving jolt of empathy this generation needs.

Rated: 5/5

Hazel & Katniss & Harry & Starr Podcast

While the film's success has shone an important light on disability, the casting controversies, inability to let Auggie be a real person and inspiration porn messaging verge on insufferable. Wonder desperately wants you to cry. I did not.

Rated: 2/5

Film Frenzy

For a picture that begs to be drowned in sentimental syrup, Wonder feels emotionally honest rather than willfully manipulative.
