	Author	Review
United States	Sheri Linden The Hollywood Reporter	"Winningly unpretentious, just like its central characters (...) Its lessons in compassion and self-acceptance are treacle-free, and (...) pack a universal punch."	POS
United States	Owen Gleiberman Variety	"[It] proves that a movie that sounds mawkish on paper can earn honest tears (...) A drama of disarmingly level-headed empathy that glides along with wit, assurance, and grace"	POS
United States	David Ehrlich IndieWire	"'Wonder' is a how-to guide for kindness; a good lesson for kids, and a helpful reminder for adults. It’s not like the world couldn’t use it."	POS
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"Manipulative feelgood drama comes with hefty dollop of treacle (...) It is a film with all the depth of a fridge magnet (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United Kingdom	Tim Grierson Screendaily	"Sentimentality overwhelms story (...) One walks away from the experience admiring the characters more than the convoluted circumstances in which they’ve been placed."	NEU
United States	Alonso Duralde The Wrap	"'Wonder' never cheats in its pursuit of emotion. It’s never mawkish or manipulative, and its characters are so well-established (...) that the movie ultimately does the hard work of earning those damp Kleenexes."	POS
United States	Joe Dziemianowicz New York Daily News	"Despite earnest intentions, a good cast led by Julia Roberts and Jacob Tremblay and touching moments (...) [it] is hamstrung by predictability and heavy-handedness (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 5)"	NEU
United States	Chris Nashawaty Entertainment Weekly	"Tremblay’s Augie is adorable and guileless and you’re rooting for him from the opening scene (...) Yes, you’ve seen some version of this before, but rarely done this well"	POS
