It's a wonder that this film, based on the R.J. Palacio novel of the same name - which follows a year in the life of August Pullman (Jacob Tremblay), Auggie, suffering from a genetic abnormality, doesn't overtly drip with sentiment and melodrama. That in fact is because of Director Stephen Chbosky's understated, immensely engaging and skilful rendition of a pathos ridden story-on display here.
