To the Wonder is a lush film about love and changing relationships, written and directed by auteur filmmaker Terrence Malick (Days of Heaven; The New World; The Tree of Life). Ben Affleck plays an American who falls for a sexy divorcée (Olga Kurylenko) in Paris. He brings her and her 10-year-old daughter back home with him to Oklahoma, but when their relationship cools, he reconnects with an old flame, played by Rachel McAdams. Javier Bardem makes an appearance here too, as a conflicted Catholic priest.
Film critic Richard Corliss calls To the Wonder “A ramble through the ecstasies of the natural world as experienced or ignored by little people on a giant, gorgeous planet.” PROVOKR members can stream it here for free.
