Review of Wilson (2017)

By Kate Muir (612) for Times (UK) (2,458) on 08 Jun 2017

It struggles to fill the big screen, either emotionally or visually, and after a while Harrelson's say-it-as-it-is persona becomes irritating…

Review of Wilson (2017)

By Edward Lawrenson (138) for The Big Issue (129) on 08 Jun 2017

This is all pleasantly watchable but it keeps the stakes low, and the mood of subdued sentimentality doesn't feel entirely appropriate for…

Review of Wilson (2017)

By Terry Staunton (141) for Radio Times (2,421) on 07 Jun 2017

What gives Wilson a slight edge is the zippy interplay between Harrelson and Laura Dern as his estranged wife, a comedic rhythm that helps…

Review of Wilson (2017)

By Allan Hunter (1,486) for Daily Express (UK) (2,141) on 07 Jun 2017

Very funny in places, Wilson runs out of steam as it heads towards a sentimental finale…

Review of Wilson (2017)

By Craig Mathieson (459) for The Sunday Age (488) on 07 Jun 2017

The idea of the prickly misanthrope who tries to waywardly make good is starting to become an archetype in the cinema, but Woody Harrelson…

Review of Wilson (2017)

By Vicky Roach (269) for Daily Telegraph (Australia) (376) on 06 Jun 2017

Wilson, the motormouthed misanthrope Woody Harrelson plays in this workmanlike adaptation of Daniel Clowes' graphic novel, is an acquired taste…

Review of Wilson (2017)

By Geoffrey Macnab (1,253) for Independent (UK) (2,026) on 06 Jun 2017

Director Craig Johnson (who also dealt with middle aged angst in his previous film, The Skeleton Twins) has a nicely matter of fact way of…

Review of Wilson (2017)

By David Jenkins (910) for Little White Lies (3,136) on 04 Jun 2017

A charming performance from Harrelson keeps the disparate elements nicely congealed…

Review of Wilson (2017)

By Anna Smith (519) for Time Out (7,510) on 04 Jun 2017

The film’s bouts of slapstick and sentiment sit slightly oddly with its downbeat tone, but if Wilson isn’t entirely consistent as a character,…

Review of Wilson (2017)

By Eddie Harrison (272) for The List (2,018) on 04 Jun 2017

It's to Harrelson's credit that Wilson's occasional charm just about outweighs the unpleasant aspects of his character for most of the 94-minute…

Review of Wilson (2017)

By Josh Winning (84) for Total Film (3,532) on 04 Jun 2017

Wilson is fitfully funny, but the episodic format prevents it from matching the droll delights of Ghost World…

Review of Wilson (2017)

By Simon Crook (112) for Empire Magazine (3,326) on 04 Jun 2017

Gifted a bulldozing comic creation, Woody Harrelson's stomping Grumpzilla performance powers this fitfully funny git-com that, after a bracingly…

Review of Wilson (2017)

By Anthony Morris (102) for sbs.com.au (697) on 31 May 2017

It's a brave way to structure a film, and the sentimental side gradually undercuts the laughs until all that's left is a vague warm feeling…

Review of Wilson (2017)

By Sarah Ward (538) for Concrete Playground (635) on 30 May 2017

Wilson, the man, may serve up great work from Harrelson, but Wilson, the movie, soon proves that 94 minutes in the character's company are…

Review of Wilson (2017)

By Cj Johnson (473) for ABC Radio (Australia) (677) on 23 May 2017

Has many gags that fall flat, but there are also some true zingers…

Review of Wilson (2017)

By Andrea G. Bermejo (61) for Cinemanía (Spain) (558) on 23 May 2017

Only suitable for those who have reached a certain level of misanthropy. [Full review in Spanish]…

Review of Wilson (2017)

By Jake Wilson (570) for The Age (Australia) (918) on 23 May 2017

[Wilson has] many funny lines and a cast full of first-rate character actors such as Margo Martindale and Judy Greer…

Review of Wilson (2017)

By Damien Straker (239) for Impulse Gamer (252) on 22 May 2017

This laugh-free, intolerable imposter of a comedy about a sad sack who discovers the value of family is less fun than contracting smallpox…

Review of Wilson (2017)

By Travis Johnson (154) for FILMINK (Australia) (1,405) on 22 May 2017

Wilson is more a work of portraiture than narrative…

Review of Wilson (2017)

By Sean K. Cureton (19) for Film Inquiry (1,269) on 10 Apr 2017
