To the Wonder
A man embraces a woman from behind while they are in front of a sea. A vertical line mimicking the hinge of a book is placed off-center to the left, with an island in the sea seemingly disappearing into the hinge. The faded title and credits surround the hinge, while a white border surrounds the whole picture, with further credits located at its bottom.

To the Wonder is a 2012 American experimental romantic drama film written and directed by Terrence Malick and starring Ben Affleck, Olga Kurylenko, Rachel McAdams, and Javier Bardem. Filmed in Oklahoma and Paris, the film chronicles a couple who, after falling in love in Paris, struggle to keep their relationship from falling apart after moving to the United States. The film premiered in competition at the 2012 Venice Film Festival,[3] where it was nominated for the Golden Lion Award. It received mixed reactions at its premiere in Venice but was awarded the SIGNIS Award at the same festival.[4] The film continued to polarize critics upon its theatrical release, with many praising Malick's direction and Lubezki's cinematography, though finding the narrative emotionally unsatisfying.[5]
