Two movies with Julianne Moore, four performances. Yes, this is her second film I saw in as many days with dual performances. Directed by visual auteur Todd Haynes (Far From Heaven, I’m Not There, Carol), Wonderstruck unfolds two narratives, seemingly disconnected: one set in the 20s, where a young deaf girl runs away from home seeking out a famous actress, and one in the 70s, where a young boy runs away in search of the father he never knew. Obviously, there is a thematic connection between the stories, and stronger ties are eventually revealed.
