WHITE BIRD
From the best-selling author of Wonder, the movie that sparked a movement to “choose kind,” comes
the inspirational next chapter. In White Bird: A Wonder Story, we
follow Julian, who has struggled to belong ever since he was expelled from his
former school for his treatment of Auggie Pullman. To transform his life, Julian’s
grandmother (Helen Mirren) finally
reveals to Julian her own story of courage — during her youth in Nazi-occupied
France, a boy shelters her from mortal danger. They find first love in a
stunning, magical world of their own creation, while the boy’s mother (Gillian Anderson) risks everything to
keep her safe. From Marc Forster
(director of Finding Neverland and Christopher Robin) and based on R.J.
Palacio’s book, White Bird, like
Wonder before it, is an uplifting movie about how one act of kindness can live
on forever. (USA, 2023, 120 mins,
