Review: The Wonders (Le meraviglie)

By Jaskee Hickman

Image from Oscilloscope’s THE WONDERS

Right from the outset, it’s obvious that The Wonders isn’t your typical film.

Peter Sarsgaard stars in Magnolia Pictures' EXPERIMENTER

Trying to figure out why people think and behave the way they do is an extremely difficult process that takes an extended period of time to learn. Even then, having all the answers about that subject is impossible. Experimenter is a film based on a real life person who apparently had that kind of stuff racing through his mind. Being …
