Probably the most emotional film on Earth

5 stars

16 Jun 2019

Wonder is the most emotional I have watched in my life. As I watched this film I was next to my friend ( to be honest I was crying halfway through.) wonder is about a child called Auggie who has but Treacher Collins syndrome really he's just a normal kid. He gets homeschooled until his parents decide that he needs to start school. Nobody goes near him because they are scared, it's not that everybody's mean its just because nobody understands. Someone takes a chance and see's through his outside appearance and they become friends. Auggies friend stood up to his other friend for Auggie and got suspended to help a friend.

Meanwhile, Via signs up for Drama Club at her high school after meeting a boy named Justin, with whom she soon begins a romantic relationship. Via is selected to be an understudy for Miranda in the lead role in the school's production of Our Town, but on opening night, Miranda, whose divorced parents are not there to support her, pretends to be ill after learning Via's family is attending. Via takes her place and gives a moving performance that earns her a standing ovation. Via and Miranda then reconcile

My opinion on this film is that it may be emotional at parts but is still a fantastic film! :)
