"Brie Larson's latest film takes a long time to get going, but once the characters and setting are established, we are able to focus on Larson's moral dilemma she finds herself in." - Clark Davis, JoBlo.com
"The Wonder is a slow, methodical film, but Larson's performance and the intrigue of the film's story help keep things interesting. If you stick with it, the film should be a rewarding experience for you." - Leslie Vandergort, Minneapolis Star Tribune
"The film probably isn't as dramatic or enthralling as its filmmakers think, and the story doesn't lend itself much to the cinematic experience - with a lot of talking about whether or not the child has eaten and long stretches of not much motivation or urgency." - Matthew Ellis, USA Today
