Cinema Cindy Reviews: ‘The Star’
By CYNTHIA BIDDLECOMBCinema Cindy Reviews: Wonder
By CYNTHIA BIDDLECOMB“Wonder” can be a chosen attitude toward life. It is also the name of a new movie about a 5th grader in New York City who is going to school for the first time.
The 5th grader is August Pullman who was born with a genetic defect called “Treacher Collins Syndrome” resulting in his having a disfigured face. He has been home schooled for years, but now, his parents feel, it is time he went to school with other kids and learned to deal with the real world.
Auggie realizes that kids will recoil at the sight of his face. Yet he hopes for better. Maybe someone will want to be his friend.
