Biggest Swing

The film recovers from its emotional low point of Jack's betrayal to reach its peak when former bullies defend Auggie at the nature retreat.

Wonder maintains consistently strong sentiment throughout, with reviewers praising its multi-perspective approach and authentic performances. The film dips during its most manipulative emotional moments but soars when showing genuine character growth and transformation. Critics consistently highlighted the film's ability to earn its emotional beats through character development rather than cheap sentiment.
