The Wonders offers a charming coming-of-age tale that doubles as a quietly effective tribute to a vanishing way of life.

"The Wonders" is one of those films that's easier to experience than explain, which is almost always a good thing. Dec 3, 2015 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review…

Terrence Malick comes to mind, too, in Rohrwacher's approach to storytelling - but without the American's sense of the symphonic and supernal. Nov 27, 2015 | Rating: 4/4 | Full Review…

Structurally, "The Wonders" suffers from awkward bulges and sags, especially toward the end. Still, it's a beautiful, richly imagined ride that doesn't end as much as evaporate into a dreamlike puff of smoke. Nov 25, 2015 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

Writer-director Alice Rohrwacher has a gentle, unassuming touch through most of the film, quietly observing the beekeepers' hard work and pre-modern lifestyle without condescension, and her leads are effectively natural. Aug 28, 2018 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review…

The importance of family in these examples of Italian cinema continues. Although, fortunately, in a more original way rather than traditional. [Full review in Spanish] Sep 27, 2016 | Full Review…

A very particular story mixed with the poetry of a director that, with only two movies, already her its own language and style. [Full review in Spanish] Sep 22, 2016 | Full Review…
