In the new film version of Emma Donoghue’s richly absorbing novel THE WONDER, we confront what the march of history and colonialism has done to Ireland. The film opens in 1862, ten years after the Great Hunger, in a windswept midlands village where a local girl called Anna O’Donnell is somehow hale and hearty after forty days of refusing food since her eleventh birthday. THE WONDER will is now available on Netflix via link below.
