So how much of Wonderstruck is real and how much is fantasy, we will never really know. Is their reality real? To those of us who are not deaf, we can never know what it is to them. It's not set up to accommodate them, so they adapt their own reality to exist in it. That's what Wonderstruck intends to do - establish a real world in which the deaf find themselves contained. We would hear identifiable themes set in a very expansive framework, creating a very different impression of a familiar setting. In music, a composition like this would be "a fantasy on" some composition. Wonderstruck is not credible story it isn't supposed to be. All the capers and coincidences and similarities are unbelievable for any realistic narrative.
What they clearly DON'T understand is that Wonderstruck is a fantasy, not a melodrama. The early reviews I have seen, including the two posted here, realize that the work product is indeed problematic, and, while they don't say so, they ought to understand that it should have been reworked before the final edit. Usually, I refrain from commenting on films which I have been fortunate enough to see prior to release, but in this case, I am making an exception.
