What is deep imagery and what is flat imagery when speaking about cinematic art? Here is a brief introduction:

The video essay is one of many that we at 16:9 film journal are publishing in our 20th anniversary year. Congratulations to us - and to you who can now enjoy solid and sober film criticism.

That was great! The frame was stupid and unnecessary but the rest was solid #thewonder

I'll say: after watching three fairly overtly feminist (by h-wood standards) films Pugh has chosen to do, I'm on board with giving any other project she does a try, just cause I'm starting to trust her taste in projects #thewonder

"This is for her salvation.... my children... WILL be in Heaven." There it is #thewonder

I had a really great women's history teacher who laid out how Christanity gave a lot of women more avenues for power: martyrdom and sainthood, fasting, miracles... this show does a great job making that make sense #thewonder

Me and Flo Pugh rn: BURN IT ALL DOWN

#thewonder

I absolutely called what the brother was "burning" for 😆. It's an English show! #thewonder

Halfway and I really really like this. Hope they don't screw it up like end of The Witch. #thewonder

Watching #thewonder. I like the choices Pugh makes for roles

No ED warning on “The Wonder” but there really bloody should be. If you have struggled with #EatingDisorder just be aware that #TheWonder is a film on #Netflix to consider very carefully. Netflix, DO BETTER. This is not good enough.

#TheWonder period piece about nurse sent to observe miracle of child that lives without food. Psychological trauma mixed with religious fervor. Belief hiding pain of loss. Sad when people won’t face the truth. Desperate for a saint. Good drama. Strange bookends with 4th wall.

#TheWonder: An enthralling look at #faith and the #belief we put into #stories, made even more gripping by how it pulls the audience into the narrative itself.

A couple of months ago, I finished reading #TheWonder. Am now going to see how good the film adaptation is.
Opening scene is...meta.

Perfección.

Una niña vive una narrativa inescapable que oculta una verdad indecible. Una enfermera cree que lo que debería salvarla es la verdad, hasta que descubre que lo único que puede salvarla es una nueva narrativa, una historia de origen que le pertenezca sólo a ella, a la niña.

This evening's viewing: Florence Pugh in The Wonder. Intriguing and unusual opening (starts with studio sound stage and outside of sets, with narration before going into film proper). Have a good feeling about this one...

According to the #Guardian and its (apparently) two separate end-of-year #film charts for the UK and the USA, films are better or worse depending on geography.

For example, #TheWonder was the 8th Best Film in the UK this year, but the 7th Best Film in the USA. No word, unfortunately, on how good it was if you watched it in Germany, Senegal or via a VPN. Perhaps nobody's done that important science yet.

I just listened to this #TheWonder podcast episode on Death which I found quite helpful.

Acabo de ver "The wonder" en #Netflix, dirigida por Sebastian Lelio. Una enfermera luchando contra el fanatismo religioso en la Irlanda del siglo IXX.

Muy buena película y Florence Pugh, como siempre, extraordinaria.

Highly recommend The Wonder on Netflix. Stellar performance by Florence Pugh - love the representation of a bold, intelligent, highly skilled nurse. We need more of this in our fictional and non-fictional stories.
