All too often post-movie talk consists of dissecting the acting/writing/special effects/fill in the blank – not here. Wonderful World was seamless and allowed me to fully enjoy the story. While Ben's rejection of the world is all too understandable, he suffers from the consequences of that choice. One of the most difficult was his attenuated relationship with his daughter who lives with his ex - it is heartbreaking in the way that any parent can understand and it was really great to see Ben allow the struggle with that loss in a way that he did not fully allow in other parts of his life. His summary dismissal from the law firm where he worked for over eight years was all too real in today's world. Ben's affair with Khadi was a great vehicle and I loved the way it was resolved. All in all, a story well told that I'd be pressed to start picking apart. I would easily recommend this movie.
