The power of blind faith

Florence Pugh as Elizabeth Wright in The Wonder.

No matter how much time passes, there is a conflict between faith and science. The debate has been raging since the dawn of mankind and continues to divide opinions even today. This age-old question is the main theme of Sebastian Lelio's The Wonder, which highlights the debate of what you really believe in through the lens of storytelling.

The Wonder is based on a 2016 novel by Emma Donoghue and is available on Netflix now that a few weeks have elapsed since its cinema release in the US. The film is set in the Irish Midlands in 1862 and stars British actress Florence Pugh as a nurse on a mission to investigate what some are calling a medical anomaly, and others a miracle.
