Reception
On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 84% of 98 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 7.2/10. The website's consensus reads, "The atmosphere's absorbing and the story is fascinating, but The Wonder of this period drama really lies in Florence Pugh's remarkable performance."[9] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the film a score of 70 out of 100, based on 31 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[10]
Reviewing the film following its premiere at Telluride, David Ehrlich of IndieWire called it a "sumptuous but slightly undercooked tale", praising Lelio’s direction, the performances, the cinematography, and the score.[11] Peter Bruge praised the cast performances in his review for Variety but criticized the screenplay, summarizing it as an "evenhanded but ultimately preposterous adaptation".[12] The Hollywood Reporter’s Stephen Farber found it an "illuminating study of dark prejudices" and commended Pugh’s performance and Lelio’s direction, which he remarks represents perhaps his "finest achievement to date".[13]
