20 Netflix Movies For The Rest Of 2022 You Need To Know About
4. The Wonder
The great Sebastián Lelio (Gloria, A Fantastic Woman, Disobedience) returns with his first collaboration with Netflix - an adaptation of Emma Donoghue's 2016 novel The Wonder.
Florence Pugh stars as Lib, an English nurse who is sent to a small Irish village in 1859 to observe an alleged miracle - a girl who claims to have survived for months without food.
Beyond the strong supporting cast - namely Tom Burke, Niamh Algar, Toby Jones, and Ciarán Hinds - the script was co-written by author Donoghue herself, so we can count on this adaptation faithfully capturing the essence of the source.
If it's compelling enough, don't be shocked if Florence Pugh ends up a surging contender for next year's Best Actress Oscar.
The Wonder releases later this year.
