This adaptation of the stage musical gives us eye-popping settings, big-screen expansions of Broadway numbers, and far too much stretching of an already-thin narrative.

The screenplay does a good job with the "Dating Games" scenes and the tense, creepy sequence that follows but it founders in establishing a wider canvas.

A tepid crime thriller with a comedic undertone, the movie struggles with its unremarkable narrative and relies on the palpable chemistry between its stars.

As a comedy, it hits many of the right notes but as a mystery, it is less than impressive.

Despite its strong sense of atmosphere and an intense performance by lead actress Florence Pugh, "The Wonder" is strangely uninvolving.

An example of something that can work well on the written page but loses a lot when condensed and brought to the screen.
