White Bird: A Wonder Story

For fans of Wonder (2017), the new film White Bird: A Wonder Story is an essential addition to your watchlist. Directed by Marc Forster, this film dives deeper into the Wonder universe while telling a unique and poignant story. The narrative centres on Julian (Bryce Gheisar), who struggles to fit in at his new school after being expelled for bullying Auggie Pullman. To help him grasp the meaning of kindness, his grandmother (Helen Mirren) recounts her harrowing childhood during World War II in Nazi-occupied France.

In her tale, Julian's grandmother remembers being hidden from danger by a courageous boy and his mother, portrayed by Gillian Anderson.

With a stellar cast and a narrative that connects past and present, White Bird serves as both a prequel and sequel to Wonder, emphasising themes of courage and compassion that resonate deeply with audiences.
