The Wonder

Netflix, from Wednesday

-

Florence Pugh (above with Tom Burke) stars as Lib Wright, an English nurse who travels to Ireland to meet Anna O’Donnell, an 11-year-old village girl who remains in good health, despite not having eaten for four months.

A committee has been formed to establish whether Anna’s condition is the result of divine interventi­on, and Lib has been tasked with figuring out if she is being secretly fed.

Based on Emma Donoghue’s novel, the film deals with notions of faith and reason, and features a strong supporting cast that includes mother-anddaughte­r duo Elaine Cassidy and Kila Lord Cassidy.
