Terrence Malick comes to mind, too, in Rohrwacher's approach to storytelling - but without the American's sense of the symphonic and supernal. November 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. November 25, 2015 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

A story that frames a familiar conflict - the collision of modernity and tradition - in intriguingly off-center ways, alive with piercing detail. November 25, 2015 | Full Review…

Overall, The Wonders is an example of insightful, though-provoking filmmaking but is let down by its bizarre change of tone. November 19, 2019 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review…

Almost every moment feels real and unrehearsed because the characters' specific qualities work inward rather than outward. May 24, 2019 | Rating: 7/10 | Full Review…

The Wonders is a coming-of-age tale unbound from the expectations of a genre that it remains undeniably hooked to at its heart, so that it's also a revelatory portrait of a family, a region, and a way of life. May 2, 2019 | 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. August 28, 2018 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review…
