Anakin G Nov 30, 2018 Surprised by how low the ratings are here. I'm new to Rotten Tomatoes, and now I'm doubting how competent the reviews might be. This is a lovely film with a lovely story and remarkable performances by these two young performers. I think it is a little gem! Will likely watch it again and again over the years. See more

Anakin G Nov 4, 2018 A positive enforcement towards the ASL communication in beginning forms that actually expresses the title as an insight especially an unexpected empathetic connection being a tying sentimentality of the parallels between two different time periods within classical nostalgia from a certain perspective, despite few questionable approaches. (B+) (Full review TBD) See more

Hermione W Oct 20, 2018 I am a big fan of the filmmaker Todd Haynes. His movie WONDERSTRUCK from last year is simply a thing of beauty! The critics were mixed, the film received a rating of 68%. But to me it is one if the underrated films from this past year and would easily make my list of the top five best films from this past year. Do yourself a favor and watch it! The film is a thing of wonder and it DID leave me WONDERSTRUCK. It's beautifully moving and uplifting! See more

Kylo L Oct 12, 2018 Metacinema self-referentially smug, good only for cinephiles and professional critics. (Mauro Lanari)

Aug 13, 2018 Oh dear where to even begin. This should have been a short - the first half hour sort-of brings together some good elements with the parallel time approach. Then, it all falls apart: First: why does the main character also need to go deaf? You seriously expect us to follow and believe that he gets Struck By Lightening, recovers in a day or two, is deaf, and then gallops down the yellow brick road to NYC?? Then, he meets a weirdo son of the museum director by chance, who just HAPPENS to be connected to his father. Via a book we keep seeing over & over, and some museum cabinet, that never gets explored or resolved? Then, you expect us to believe he LEARNS SIGN LANGUAGE IN A DAY? Then, after about 30 minutes of dull repetitive shots where NOTHING HAPPENS, you finally get him to the bookshop and his grandmother, and then TORTURE us to sit and listen to him read some explanation she magically hand writes at a bus stop in 5 minutes??? Haynes saw 'Big FIsh' and 'Never Ending Story' and, like so many other derivative hipsters - said 'me too' and made a film. Disaster of epic proportions - and the fact that this insulting piece of tripe made it past serious executives and editors proves, once again, the McHollywood is drowning in it's own self-congratulating hype.

Rey L Aug 2, 2018 Beautifully written and cleverly directed, Worderstruck is a wonder to watch, not only because of its astonishing cast, but also because of its amazing soundtrack well conciliated with some great visuals. See more
