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.

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.

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.

3/5

It sometimes over-plays its hand but, anchored by a terrific Jacob Tremblay, Wonder is a warm persuasive argument for tolerance.

5/5

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.

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.

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

Although far from perfect, the sheer life-affirming quality of this movie makes it a great watch.

Wonder is one of those rare films that can change the heart of anyone who watches it. It offers a unique peer into a world that most have never seen and even fewer will ever know. This is the type of storytelling that should be mandatory in schools all across the world.

Wonder is a simple, effective reminder of the significance of kindness in a world that frequently loses sight of it. The film is lovely, delicate, and emotionally evocative from start to finish, thanks to the actors' honest performances. I found myself in bits throughout, moved by the pure sincerity of the story. The plot is straightforward yet profound, following a little boy as he navigates school, family, and acceptance, but the emotional impact is enormous. Instead of preaching, Wonder softly demonstrates how empathy, courage, and compassion can alter people's lives in huge and small ways. The moral lessons feel limitless and ageless, making the picture as effective for adults as it is for children. Beautiful, humane, and enduring, Wonder delivers exactly what its title promises.

The reason for the bullying he faces is different from that in A Silent Voice. It is a pure coming-of-age story with no romantic subplots at all. Raised with tender care by his family, never treated as a "special child" or labeled differently, he ultimately earned friendship and respect through his kindness and courage. Courage, kindness, friendship, character—thesedefine our humanity, transcending biases of appearance to remind us that what lies within is far more powerful than what meets the eye. This is the essence of empathy: be kind, for everyone is fighting an unseen battle in life
