To The Wonder

Soon after returning to his native Oklahoma with a beautiful woman he met in Paris, Neil finds himself drifting toward an old friend.  Meanwhile, the woman he brought back with him has unfinished business with her first husband.  With that being said, I would have not been able to write this without Netflix synopsis.  There is virtually no dialogue in the movie.  The only help one gets are some subtitles.  Never is Ben Affleck's  character called by name--so Neil is a shock to me.  Beautiful woman has a 10 year old daughter that tags along.  Beautiful woman, whatever her name is, is nuts and spends the majority of the film twirling around like a bad ballerina or rolling in dead grass, leaves or whatever.  Her subtitles allude to a crack pot philosophy on love.  The old friend isn't any better.  She has issues that really because of no dialogue are not clear, but what a guessing game.  Oh did I forget the equally nuts priest?  In the broad spectrum, I got the impression he was confused about God and his role but once again with no dialogue it is hard to tell.  This is the ultimate "artsy fartsy flick".  There is a lot to be said for a good story line.  How Ben Affleck can go from Argo to this is bewildering.  I give it a 2 only because of the boots.  Both females wore great boots--with no dialogue, nothing to distract you.  Stars ( and that is using the term loosely) Ben Affleck, Olga Kurylendo, Javier Bardem, Rachel McAdams.
