New Wonderstruck trailer arrives online! The film opens in the U.S. in October
Based on Brian Selznick’s critically acclaimed novel Ben and Rose are children from two different eras who secretly wish their lives were different. Ben longs for the father he has never known, while Rose dreams of a mysterious actress whose life she chronicles in a scrapbook. When Ben discovers a puzzling clue in his home and Rose reads an enticing headline in the newspaper, both children set out on quests to find what they are missing that unfold with mesmerizing symmetry.

Julianne Moore, Oakes Fegley, Michelle Williams, Jaden Michael and Millicent Simmonds are amongst the cast of the film, directed by Todd Haynes, which we caught at Cannes earlier in the summer.
As with Haynes’ Oscar-nominated Carol, the acting is superlative, the shining light in this being the work of feature debuter Simmonds and Fegley in career-defining roles. The latter builds upon the talent he displayed in the very under-appreciated Pete’s Dragon from last year and is easily one of the best things about the movie. Add in the always commanding presence of Moore, who once again shows why she is still one of Hollywood’s finest actresses. The final scenes particularly pull at the heartstrings, the actress not having much dialogue, but still managing to pull at the heartstrings and have tears falling from even the most-hardened film critics during its debut screening in Cannes.
Wonderstruck is joyous, sometimes overwhelming but always engrossing and compelling – a dazzling, superbly crafted, very original and clever follow-up to Carol for the highly respected Haynes. This is masterful work, a wondrous, truly lovely heart-warmer that we loved from beginning to end. Prepare for very unexpected tears though.
