“Wonderstruck”
I liked the magical overtones. It was a little disjointed as it flashed between two parallel stories but I think it still worked fairly well as both stories were interesting and it heightened the magical feeling. The movie was somewhat undermined by questions about the motivations/choice of the adult characters that precipitated the boy’s journey. Some might insist that it doesn’t matter because it wasn’t the adults’ story or something. But those choices were integral to the story and you’re left wondering if you’ve been cheated. The actor who plays Riddler in “Gotham” has a small role and it was fun to see him being less creepy than usual.
