It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

I'm a sentimental fellow and I like this kind of a movie, throughout I wanted to give it a 9 but the ending kind of disappointed in a way. Because I did actually like the ending but it would have been greatly improved, at least for me if that other kid didn't just show up out of nowhere at the end to say "I followed you", if the audience had gotten just a little wink and a nod beforehand that the kid was going to follow him because, I don't know I just felt like it didn't fit/work with him just showing up like that.

This story has so much potential. I loved "Hugo," by the same writer. The parallel time periods and similarities in the stories of the 2 children could have been wonderful if the movie contained some cleverly written exposition.This film was so dimly lit I could hardly see it, even when it was supposedly a normally lit space. The written notes on paper were not readable and they would have probably given me a clue about the plot. It is ultimately about a newly orphaned child, a worthy subject. However, it is unclear who the boy is staying with in the beginning, unclear whether the adult women is a neighbor, a foster mother, or a friend's mother. It is unclear why the 1927 female lead leaves her home to see an actress. There are notes back and forth I couldn't read. Why is the bookseller significant? Who is he? Is he merely a device to introduce the grandmother? How did the boy get the name of this bookshop? It was hard to see the book he was looking at, so maybe there was a clue there?Why a museum setting? What will happen to the boy? Will he get lost in the fake city? Is the fake city better than his sad life? Are we to get from this that real life is too hard and we should escape in fantasy? The grandmother leaves home and never goes back. She gets incorporated into a museum. Is that the boy's fate?

The story of a young boy in the Midwest is told simultaneously with a tale about a young girl in New York from fifty years ago as they both seek the same mysterious connection. Wonderstruck is too long and too boring to make the viewers care and good actors like Julianne Moore and Michelle Williams are hardly in the movie to the point where we even forget them and the mother and son dynamic is never reaching it's potential or it's dramatic depth plus the plot arc with the 2 kids? was boring as well. (0/10)

...for insomnia. Seriously, if you have trouble falling asleep than this is a must-see film. You'll be out like a light in no time at all. Fortunately, this coma-inducing "film" finally came to a close and I awoke refreshened and ready to continue my day. So definitely go see this movie. It will rejuvenate you in ways you never thought possible.
