A major film from the makers of Normal People and Room, starring
Florence Pugh and streaming on Netflix. An eleven-year-old girl
stops eating, but remains miraculously alive and well. A nurse,
sent to investigate whether she is a fraud, meets a journalist
hungry for a story . . . Set in the Irish Midlands in the 1850s,
Emma Donoghue's The Wonder - inspired by numerous cases of 'fasting
girls' between the sixteenth century and the twentieth - is a
psychological thriller about a child's murder threatening to happen
in slow motion before our eyes. Pitting all the seductions of
fundamentalism against sense and love, it is a searing examination
of what nourishes us, body and soul.
