while Grant Singer's film delivers on its promise as a smorgasbord for Mendes-maniacs, it mostly glosses over that journey we were promised, undermining quite a bit of what "In Wonder" otherwise does well
lacking focus, tension or narrative, "In Wonder" follows Mendes via introspective voiceover and trifling behind-the-scenes footage as he zooms through world tours and Toronto homecomings; Mendes is winsome. This film is stultifying
an adoring slice of hagiography, "In Wonder" delivers the serotonin, but lacks the revelation of like-minded music docs like "Part of Me" and "Miss Americana"
