Variety
pressIt's a very tasteful heart-tugger - a drama of disarmingly level-headed empathy that glides along with wit, assurance, and grace, and has something touching and resonant to say about the current climate of American bullying.
Time Out
pressBullies and frenemies don't get served so much as given quiet moments to confront their own mistakes.
The New York Times
press"Wonder" is that rare thing, a family picture that moves and amuses while never overtly pandering.
Stuff
pressI respected Wonder immensely. It's an old-fashioned three-hankie sob fest with sassy kids, catchy songs, kind adults and a cute dog.

Los Angeles Times
pressThough its upbeat earnestness is ever-present, it has the integrity to understand that not even kindness can eliminate all problems.
