The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present the Northern Arizona premiere of “The Wonder” showing Nov. 11-17 at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre.

“The Wonder” – starring Academy Award-nominee Florence Pugh – is the tale of a young Irish girl, Anna O’Donnell, whose Catholic family claim she has eaten nothing since her eleventh birthday … four months ago.

The Irish Midlands, 1862: A young girl stops eating but remains miraculously alive and well. English nurse Lib Wright (Florence Pugh) is brought to a tiny village to observe 11-year old Anna O’Donnell. Tourists and pilgrims mass to witness the girl who is said to have survived without food for months.

Is the village harboring a saint ‘surviving on manna from heaven’ or are there more ominous motives at work?

“The Wonder” is a psychological thriller inspired by the 19th century phenomenon of the “fasting girls” and adapted from the acclaimed novel by Emma Donoghue (Room).

“Showtimes will be 4 p.m. on Friday, Saturday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, Nov. 11, 12, 14, 15, 16 and 17; 6:30 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 13; and 7 p.m. on Monday, Nov. 14.
