The Wonders evokes many other films, but is utterly unique. It is like being privy to a marvelous story that Rohrwacher is telling herself. Read full review

The Wonders is wonderful and successful. If anything, this movie should quite waste your time figuring out how great and wonderful this film is and you'll love it no matter what.
