WONDERSTRUCK
\nAmazon Studios\/Roadside Attractions
\nDirector: Todd Haynes
\nScreenwriter: Brian Selznick from his novel
\nCast: Oakes Fegley, Julianne Moore, Michelle Williams, Millicent Simmonds, Tom Noonan
\nScreened at: Critics\u2019 link, NYC, 12\/26\/17
\nOpens: October 20, 2017<\/strong><\/p>\n

You may want to spend a cinematic night in a museum with Ben, but not with Ben Stiller this time. The Ben in \u201cWonderstruck,\u201d which is based on Brian Selznick\u2019s novel which he adapted for the screen, is a 12-year-old (Oakes Fegley) in the role of just Ben. The lad has a double, kind of, a girl his age who also spent a night in the Museum of Natural History, and her name is Rose (Millicent Simmonds). In an unusual casting, Ms. Simmonds is really deaf, which could make directing her difficult, but that was not a problem in the hands of Todd Haynes, who has a reputation as a fine storyteller.<\/p>\n

This is a movie that people who are deaf or hard of hearing might go for despite the absence of captions, since there are long silences particularly when covering Rose\u2019s story, one which takes place fifty years earlier than Ben\u2019s. We see New York\u2019s AMNH (American Museum of Natural History) and environments in black-and-white in 1927. We look at a more colorful New York in 1977, still before the age of iPhones, Facebook and Twitter\u2014which makes the two eras not so different from each other. Without giving away something about the story that you\u2019d doubtless guess, screenwriter Selznick finds a connection between Ben and Rose as does his novel\u2014a 640-page door-stopper that has been nonetheless a popular tome with readers from age 10 to the young in heart age 90. <\/p>\n

Focusing on the sticks of Minnesota in \u201977, Edward Lachman\u2019s lenses train on Ben, now age 12, who is depressed that his mother Elaine (Michelle Williams in her third movie this year) has been killed in an auto accident. Since when it rains it pours, Ben is confused about his missing father, a man he hopes to track down in New York City. Meanwhile fifty years earlier, Rose, born profoundly deaf, feels strangled by her harsh treatment from Dr. Kincaid, her uptight father (James Urbaniak). Like a political segment of people in Josh Aronson\u2019s terrific movie in 2000 \u201cSound and Fury,\u201d she does not want to learn to lip read, since in part the movies that she loves are all silent with intertitles, though she becomes sad when seeing that talkies, introduced that year, would deny her the words. <\/p>\n

When Ben sees \u201cCabinets of Wonder,\u201d a catalog that may contain a clue to his dad\u2019s location, he springs into action. When Rose sees a clipping that her favorite actress Lillian Mayhew (Julianne Moore) stars in a New York play, she runs away from Hoboken to Manhattan. At the same time Ben, who has been struck deaf by an electrical storm, makes it to New York City 50 years later where he befriends Jamie (Jaden Michael) another 12-year-old, whose father works in the Museum of Natural History. <\/p>\n

Behind the editor\u2019s screen, Affonso Goncalves combines the two eras with sudden surprises, sometimes spending just seconds on 1977 and quickly shifting to Old New York. Visually the New York of 1927 provides the more notable scenery as we see how the women dressed at the time, the sometimes decaying signs on the buildings hinting at establishments that existed in the 19th Century. Both Ben and Rose are to find answers to their obsessions proving once again that the world often snaps to attention for people willing to take risks.<\/p>\n

In another bow to the expression \u201cthe book was better,\u201d the heavy novel, a favorite among middle-schoolers who can read, can be put down now and then when the eyes glaze over. Such a luxury is not available on the big screen. The scenes in the museum are overextended to the point of viewer frustration, and the visuals, which have been touted by some critics as the most notable aspect of the movie, are nothing to write home about, not even to rural Minnesota.<\/p>\n

Rated PG. 117 minutes. \u00a9 Harvey Karten, Member, New York Film Critics Online<\/p>\n
