Review of Wonder Wheel (2017)

By Jesse Hassenger (800) for Brooklyn Magazine (241) on 19 Dec 2017

Ginny once dreamed of becoming an actress, one of many on-the-nose details that marks Wonder Wheel as self-consciously theatrical…

Review of Wonder Wheel (2017)

By Eli Glasner (71) for CBC News (57) on 18 Dec 2017

Wonder Wheel is not good film. Belushi is wildly out of his depth and, at best, the storyline rises to the level of a second-rate Neil Simon play…

Review of Wonder Wheel (2017)

By Paul Byrnes (441) for Sydney Morning Herald (1,256) on 15 Dec 2017

Woody Allen seems to be running on empty now, situating his stories in cliched versions of the past, slapping together character and situations…

Review of Wonder Wheel (2017)

By Louise Keller (804) for Urban Cinefile (2,850) on 15 Dec 2017

Not one of Woody Allen's best works.... It is devoid of wonder…

Review of Wonder Wheel (2017)

By Clint O'connor (453) for Akron Beacon Journal (177) on 15 Dec 2017

Because Woody Allen makes a movie every year, some of them are bound to be clunkers. Wonder Wheel is one of the clunkiest…

Review of Wonder Wheel (2017)

By Roger Moore (6,008) for Movie Nation (3,875) on 15 Dec 2017

Cut-rate O'Neill, pretentious, irritating and weaker than ever Woody…

Review of Wonder Wheel (2017)

By John Urbancich (394) for Your Movies (cleveland.com) (472) on 15 Dec 2017

Woody Allen comes up with a very special movie about every six or seven years. Unfortunately, Wonder Wheel is not one of them…

Review of Wonder Wheel (2017)

By Josh Terry (603) for Deseret News (Salt Lake City) (1) on 15 Dec 2017

The characters aren't interesting enough, the performances feel a little too stiff, the spectre of Allen's better films - such as 2013's Blue…

Review of Wonder Wheel (2017)

By Elias Savada (386) for Film International (130) on 15 Dec 2017

The actors work up a lather in trying to deal with the writer-director's various sour and neurotic characters, most of whom appear stuck in…

Review of Wonder Wheel (2017)

By Adam Graham (720) for Detroit News (2,682) on 15 Dec 2017

Allen, 82, has his ups and downs, and while there have been more downs than ups lately he is always worth the benefit of the doubt…

Review of Wonder Wheel (2017)

By Bob Bloom (1,124) for Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN) (1,017) on 14 Dec 2017

The film, set at Coney Island in the 1950s, feels like a play that (Woody) Allen wrote, then shelved because he had second thoughts after rereading…

Review of Wonder Wheel (2017)

By Sarah Ward (538) for Concrete Playground (635) on 14 Dec 2017

Even if Allen's own past didn't loom over the film's narrative, Wonder Wheel wouldn't rank among his best work…

Review of Wonder Wheel (2017)

By Sean P. Means (2,056) for Salt Lake Tribune (1,927) on 14 Dec 2017

Wonder Wheel looks gorgeous…

Review of Wonder Wheel (2017)

By Keeva Stratton (79) for Rescu (Australia) (79) on 14 Dec 2017

Woody Allen's films are always hit or miss. Sadly, Wonder Wheel falls firmly in the latter…

Review of Wonder Wheel (2017)

By Mike Scott (1,178) for Times-Picayune (642) on 14 Dec 2017

Even when he isn't at the top of his game -- and in Wonder Wheel, he certainly isn't -- Allen's films still tend to have something intriguing…

Review of Wonder Wheel (2017)

By Richard Von Busack (346) for MetroActive (325) on 14 Dec 2017

Without believing in this movie, one believes in Winslet…

Review of Wonder Wheel (2017)

By Jeff Simon (157) for Buffalo News (278) on 14 Dec 2017

The writer-director and the performers all seem unhappily trapped in this movie…

Review of Wonder Wheel (2017)

By Josh Bell (1,421) for Las Vegas Weekly (1,340) on 14 Dec 2017

Allen's dialogue is so stilted and artificial that no amount of Serious Acting can make it convincing or meaningful…

Review of Wonder Wheel (2017)

By Calvin Wilson (480) for St. Louis Post-Dispatch (1,715) on 14 Dec 2017

Like the fairground ride for which it’s named, Wonder Wheel is entertaining but not enlightening…

Review of Wonder Wheel (2017)

By R Mitchell Miller (6) for Willamette Week (516) on 14 Dec 2017

Woody Allen doesn't have much left to say. Wonder Wheel is a doddering rehash of ideas from his earlier works…
