Though some readers will draw connections between the latter work and “Fourteen Days,” Preston notes there are many differences. Perhaps most notably, “Fourteen Days” follows those left behind amid a pandemic — people without “the financial wherewithal to escape,” he told CNN.

‘The Wonder’ Review: Investigating an Irish Miracle
  + stars: | 2022-11-16 | by ( John Anderson | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: +1 min
One of the many virtues of “The Wonder,” which includes a sublime performance by Florence Pugh , is the case it makes for itself as a film. Not every story can or should be a movie, despite Hollywood’s insistence otherwise. Some should remain books. Adapted from Emma Donoghue ’s novel and directed by Sebastián Lelio , “The Wonder” is set in the rural Ireland of 1862, a scant dozen years after the Great Hunger. She also comes under the scrutiny of a committee of townsmen, some of whom are ready to proclaim her a saint.
But when she finds herself in a film that can match her talents, as she does in Sebastián Lelio’s “The Wonder,” she’s a marvel. In “The Wonder,” a film of considerable emotional depth that asks much of its actors, the result is perhaps her finest work to date.

LONDON, Oct 7 (Reuters) - Making her new psychological period thriller "The Wonder" was a lesson in reining in her spirit and holding her tongue, British star Florence Pugh says. Pugh plays English nurse Lib who travels to a remote Irish village in 1862 to "watch" a young fasting girl. "For me it's a conversation and a conflict about science versus religion, something that we're dealing with now, something that...it's a tale literally as old as time," Pugh told Reuters at the movie’s London Film Festival premiere on Friday. 1/4 Cast member Florence Pugh and director Sebastian Lelio attend the premiere of 'The Wonder' during the BFI London Film Festival in London, Britain, October 7, 2022.
