Based on Brian Selznick’s critically acclaimed novel Ben and Rose are children from two different eras who secretly wish their lives were different.
Wonderstruck also stars Michelle Williams, Haynes favorite Julianne Moore, and James Urbaniak, and hits theaters on October 20.
To be fair, a new Todd Haynes film is always a priority, and Wonderstruck doesn’t feel like anything the director of Carol and Velvet Goldmine has done before.
Ben longs for the father he has never known, while Rose dreams of a mysterious actress whose life she chronicles in a scrapbook.
