The Wonder: Anna O’Donnell [INFJ 9w1]

MBTI Type: INFJ Unhealthy INFJs can be detached from this mortal plain and preoccupied with “higher thoughts.” Anna is a highly abstract thinker, who often answers Lib’s questions with metaphorical answers; she says she doesn’t need food, since she is sustained on “manna from heaven” (her mother is feeding her like a bird). She’s also obsessed with her brother burning in hell, and feels…

⭐️𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐰 𝐆𝐨𝐨𝐝𝐞⭐️ 🐰⚓️🛡️⚔️🍿🎦 Coming 2025! Matthew GoodE is the voice of Walter the Rabbit, whose alter ego is “Sir Balderdash” the dashing knight! Photo: David Freedman/Fabrique d’images

The NEW Project is a "family-oriented feature Tally Ho! (also known as Spiked), a co-production staged by Luxembourg’s Fabrique d’images with French and British partners. Penned by David Freedman and Jules de Jongh, it revolves around Holly, a young and courageous hedgehog. The picture is budgeted at around €7.3 million." (Cineuropa) In 2022. Film Fund Luxembourg awarded a production grant of the biggest magnitude (€3 million) for this project. Matthew and the other voice cast recorded earlier in March, right before filming Freud's Last Session in Ireland.

There is a wonderful connection to A Discovery of Witches though. Holly is voiced by Kíla Lord Cassidy, who is the daughter of Elaine Cassidy and Stephen Lord. Her mother plays Louisa de Clermont, Matthew's sister in season 2!

Tally Ho is directed by Caroline Origer (My Fairy Troublemaker 2022). More details from Kasper Animation here. "TALLY HO! A fun and engaging family adventure, which reveals the consequences of taking and making a family from someone else’s and expecting love, rather than earning it.

Holly is a lonely 10-year old orphan living in a lighthouse with her overbearing twin brother, desperate to be part of a real family full of fun and adventure.

She’d really like to be part of Walter’s 52-strong rabbit family next door. But Walter is feeling the weight of family responsibility on his shoulders and has his own dreams of a different life through the comic adventures of a Chivalrous Knight in the graphic novel he reads.

One fateful day Holly witnesses an accident on the nearby busy road. Walter is hit by a car. Remarkably he appears unhurt but he’s lost his memory.

Holly comes to the rescue but soon sees an opportunity to feed a lie – Walter is Holly’s adopted father and they are on an adventure. But the lie quickly escalates and Walter’s deep down desires of his own adventures takes on a twist as he convinces himself he is “Sir Balderdash” the dashing knight from his favourite comic books.

So, the questing begins but this is not a comic book and reckless adventuring has consequences." Coming 2025.

The Wonder (2022) is just an hour and 40 minutes of what if we loved our children too much and not enough? What are we willing to believe? What if our beliefs offer saviour and but also are our downfall? How far will we go to hang on to these beliefs? Where do we put our faith? What if our faith is blinding us from the harm we cause? What would you do? What would you do? What would you do?

The Wonder (2022, dir. Sebastián Lelio) - review by Rookie-Critic

The Wonder has a lot going for it; an incredibly solid story, a cast that won't quit, and a message that is timely and troubling: where is the intersect of religion and medicine when it comes to a child? If life-saving care can be given, but the parents refuse on grounds of religion, is it ethical to allow the child to die instead of saving them? Where is the line drawn between these two often-opposing forces? The Wonder asks all these questions and, in my opinion, delivers its answers on them pretty definitively by its end. For me, and I feel that Lelio conveys this, you absolutely save the child if possible. It's not a very tricky question at all from any angle. I've read articles about the film that seem to think it presents its central question as a moral quandary, that it attempts to read both sides, but I'm not sure how those people came to that conclusion. There are only a couple scenes that even remotely hint at this, and I'm not sure that's how I read them, and if it was attempting to present both sides, I'm not sure that it succeeded.

I think the strangest part of the film has to be its framing device. The film starts on a set. A modern-day, studio lot movie set, and a voice (that of actress Niamh Algar, who plays one of the characters in the film), tells us that this is a movie. She then says that the characters in the film believe their stories fully, and then invites us to do the same. The camera then pans into one of the set pieces in the room where we have actors (including Florence Pugh) and lighting and finally the camera clicks into place, completely cutting out the surrounding room so that we only see the set "in frame." From this point the film plays out like a normal drama (outside of another fourth wall break at the halfway point) until the very end, when we cut back out the film set. From what I can tell, it was meant as a way to kind of nod to the fact that the subject matter in the film has a lot of bearing on modern day events, but honestly I didn't need any of that, at all. I don't need you to keep winking at the camera, nudging the audience and saying "Right? Right? Look how timely our period piece is! Isn't it so upsetting that this is still a problem in the MODERN DAY?!" It's honestly exhausting, immersion breaking, distracting, and frankly it feels like its treating the audience like children. It almost feels like Lelio didn't have faith enough, either in his own script or the audience, to convey or understand what the film was getting at without having to spoon feed it to us with a really contrived framing device. Thankfully the film only commits to this sparingly, and it's easy enough to just look past it.

Ultimately the film's greatest strength, as she is with almost everything she's in, is Florence Pugh, who comes at this story with so much thought and empathy for the other characters in the film that you'd be awestruck by it if this wasn't what she literally does every time she acts. I was also very impressed with Kíla Lord Cassidy, the newcomer who plays the "miracle fasting girl" at the film's center. She plays off Pugh wonderfully and has cemented her place in my mind as a name to watch out for. I really did like The Wonder, it's a well-crafted, well-acted, well-meaning film that just gets a little bogged down in a few pitfalls that keep it from being really great, for me, at least. Check this one out of you've got the time.

Score: 7/10

Currently streaming on Netflix.

The Wonder (2022)

For most everyone involved in the dark miracle at the center of The Wonder, suffering seems omnipresent and inescapable. Death of children haunts both the O’Donnell family in rural Ireland and the nurse, Lib Wright, sent as part of the delegation tasked with observing the surviving O’Donnell daughter, who allegedly has not eaten for months. Even characters in the periphery know this suffering. The softly megalomaniacal physician Dr McBrearty makes a ritual of lighting candles for his dearly departed wife and children, and all of journalist Will Byrne’s family starved to death while he was pursuing studies across the water in England. Everyone needs their balms for this, and often these remedies fall short. Wright doses herself with laudanum each night to avoid dwelling on the deaths of her loved ones, preferring release through oblivion. The O’Donnells seek salvation in the Almighty, promising themselves that if their children must die, it is for the assurance of eternity in Heaven. We can all disabuse ourselves of things, but the problem arises when a child’s life is at stake. Lib finds herself up against multiple authorities, presented as an impartial panel but in fact seeking to prop up pre-determined interests. Dr McBrearty sees glory in publishing details about a girl able to sustain herself without food as nutrition. The deeply religious villagers see a new Saint in their midst. From this vantage point, the horrors of the Irish Famine have made hunger and suffering an essential point of identity, an inescapable part of life, and this girl presents a spiritual triumph over that curse. It’s easier to create a sacrificial lamb than to own up to mistakes, it would appear.

In a strong cast chockablock with formidable character actors, Kíla Lord Cassidy shines as the flickering, sputtering candle that is Anna O’Donnell. As Lib investigates this miraculous situation, Anna is a still presence, ever devoted to prayer but otherwise a cipher. She seems nervous, and it’s unclear what are her motives, if any. Is there abuse in the family? Are there undue pressures being placed on her? What is the source of her commitment to sustaining herself on nothing but this Manna from Heaven? As familial intervention is removed and malnutrition becomes more apparent, it’s clear that Anna wants an out, but can’t find a way to extricate herself from the situation. She has genuinely held beliefs about her need to commit to this fast, but also longs for a new start. Even from all of this suffering, there’s a chance for resurrection, this time in the form of a new family in a new land. The attraction between Lib and Will is abrupt and out of left field, but perhaps not at the core of the film’s interests. It serves more a utilitarian purpose. The film closes on a sumptuous feast aboard a ship bound for Australia, and the true miracle of the story: Anna taking her first voluntary bites.

（短評）映画『聖なる証』

（引用元）

『聖なる証』（2022年、英国、原題：The Wonder）

4ヶ月もの間絶食で生き続ける少女の真相を究明するために、観察者として1人の看護師が少女のもとに派遣される❤️‍🩹

信仰心に対して科学的思考や合理性で向き合うことで生じる歪み、信仰が抑圧となりうる欺瞞性を描いた挑戦的な映画‼️

フィクションであることをメタ的に利用した表現も👌

冒頭から映画の撮影セットと現実世界からのナレーションで始まり、驚かされます😧

そのままシームレスに映画の世界に入り込む演出は映画全体の＂フィクション＂や＂嘘＂がもたらす意味を内包する構造にもなっており、独特で非常に面白いです‼️

信仰が作りごとと表裏一体だという意味にもとれる💨

映像が豊かで、土地の空気感すら感じるような印象を持ちましたが、それもそのはず、撮影監督は『パワー・オブ・ザ・ドッグ』と同じアリ・ウェグナーという人でした🎥

主演のフローレンス・ピュー、力強さと危うさを兼ねた主人公を見事に演じていたと思います‼️

思ってたより、かなり見応えある映画💨

〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜

印象的だったのは、筒型聴診器が登場したことです‼️

1800年代半ばの物語なので、まだ現在の形の聴診器ではなく、ラッパみたいな形なんですよ🎺🩺

これが映画に登場するのを初めて観たので、医師としては興味深かったです🤔

こういう美術もキッチリしてると嬉しいですよね🌟

The Wonder - Review

The Wonder – Review

Ireland, 1862. The spectre of the Famine looms large over the island. People are starved of hope and haunted by loss. This is the backdrop of Sebastian Lelio’s The Wonder, based on Emma Donoghue’s book of the same name. The film blends religious fervour, grief, hunger and innocence lost as it unravels a devastating story of a young girl who refuses to eat. Anna O’Donnell (Kila Lord Cassidy)…

Heheh thank you so much for the tag @fxreflyes !!! I too BARELY watched even 9 films last year which is actually kinda sad bc I’ve been a film girly all my life but the very very few films I saw I did love !! ( except killers of the flower moon which I loathed very much and didn’t finish )

TOP(only??) FILMS OF 2023

1. The boy and the heron - I left the cinema like a fish in water you know just the way their mouths open and close because after ALL of that , life just went on. The war ended, they returned to tokyo , everything went on. I cried in my bed .

2. The Ballad of songbirds and snakes- this was my first cinema experience of the year and it truly was so glorious . I had the lowest expectations and went reluctantly but it was a absolutely a spectacle - I had so much fun. I was buzzing when I left.

3. Suzume - This was so fucking lovely- don’t ask me the colour of nothing though I couldn’t tell you what it was about only that sometimes life puts you on a path you believe yourself Ill prepared for only to find that sometimes the makes you the absolutely best person for it , even if you’re not . Maybe you actually are ???- and also what’s more pathetic than a boy with the world on his shoulders turning into a little chair- ( I will definitely rewatch this though I love Makoto Shinkai)

4. The wonder - I watched this early in the year , might have been the first film of 2023 ! I had no idea what to expect and I was truly gripped. Historical drama / thriller / horror??? What even was the genre I dont know but I LOVED it. The little actor in it - kila lord Cassidy absolutely ate - I -

5. Saltburn- it was very cool and fun and I gasped but was never gagged - you can’t gag a fanfiction girl with a bit of cum guzzling in a bathtub drain dndjdjdhdhdh also! Maybe if they’d kissed none of this would have happened. A real prongstail.

6. Kite- I actually was gagged . I - yeah sjjsdjsnxndnvjfdj

7. All quiet on the western front - this was when I realized more war films should be shot like horror movies. If you told Ari aster made this , I’d believe you . I read this at 13 and was sick- I guess I knew it was coming but the delayed sickness I got from this like a slow rot in my soul. That’s what all war films should be doing. I was so unsatisfied and that was the beauty of it .

8. Journeys end- this was a rewatch bc I’d just watched a movie about gay Siegfried Sassoon that was so straight i have to re immerse myself in the beauty of the war genre which is how unintentionally gay they are . Unfailingly so . Also some of in memoriam was inspired by journeys end ( the play ) so I rewatched .

9. The mortal instruments : city of bones - you will always be famous

“You’re a killer a cold blooded killer”

“As opposed to a peace loving killer” chcjxjdjxjcjdjdjssjsj😭😂

Np tagging : ( not sure who’s done this) @irregularcollapse @hiddenmoonbeam @kaleidoscopexsighs @pinklume @crimsonlovebartylus @magswrite @titstraction @just--vi @soliloquy-dawn @solmussa @spindrifters @kaaaaaaarf

💕💕💕

#I watched bones and all this year but the way itches to fast forward so many bits just because I thought they were boring #I don’t know who else could have played Timmys character but I also didn’t want it to be him #though I did SOB in that scene where he’s like am I good person #for that scene alone I give it 5 stars #and for his Adam and Steve tattoo #wait i forgot about triangle of sadness!!!!

First Movie of 2023

The Wonder

Man, what a way to start!

I was reminded about this movie when I watched Bernadette Banner’s annual review of all the historical costume movies released over the past year. And she listed this movie’s costumes in the highest honor of “’Tis Peak”...so I figured I better watch it at least for the clothes.

But honestly, even if the clothes weren’t “peak”, this would still be a damn good movie.

The movie stars Florence Pugh as an English nurse in 1862 who travels to Ireland to observe an 11-year-old girl who has not eaten since her birthday...four months ago. She and a nun take turns watching the girl to see how she has been able to survive for so long without eating.

This is the definition of a slow burn, and when I looked up reviews prior to watching the film, that seemed to be the main complaint of people who didn’t like the movie...calling it ponderously slow, etc. But to me, it just built up this tension as you are trying to figure out what is going on just as much as Florence Pugh. There are times when you almost think it’s going to turn into a horror film, the tension is so high.

Speaking of Florence Pugh, she gives an absolutely fantastic performance in this film. Very subdued yet strong. And I have to give a shoutout to the young actress who plays Anna: Kila Lord Cassidy...her performance is absolutely haunting. She completely mesmerizes the audience as she stares out with those huge eyes.

I don’t want to say too much, as it really is best going in not knowing more than what you see in the trailer...but I will say that a lot of this movie is based around the argument of science vs. faith...and there were some moments that had me yelling at my TV. Also, this movie passes the “phone test”, as I did not look at my phone or laptop once during the entire movie...which feels like such a rare thing nowadays.

And this movie looks gorgeous!! Though I suppose having the lush Irish scenery certainly helps...but there are some really beautiful shots.

And to swing back to the costumes...I 100% agree with Bernadette Banner.

‘Tis Peak.

The padded dresses, the bonnets, the hair...so good!

#the wonder #florence pugh #movies #costume design #this movie is on netflix and i definitely recommend!
