Awesome FIlm! I highly recommend this movie!!


Wonderful World has both a smart sense of humor and a deep sense of humanity. It’s one of those films that draws you in right away, but then takes you to a special and unexpected place. It reaches into that place in all of us that wants to believe that life is meaningful and good and holds promise but that has been beaten down by what we describe cynically as the way things ‘really are’. This movie reminds us that life is rich and vast with both it’s ups and downs, and that how it goes for each of us has much more to do with how we see it than how it really is. It is a film about perception, and about those pivotal moments where the tinted window we have been looking through miraculously clears and reveals a world richer than we had imagined. This is probably the best performance I’ve seen from Matthew Broderick! Ben Singer is a beautifully written role, and with simplicity and sincerity, Broderick brings him to life with an impressively nuanced performance. Great film!!!!
