Review of Wonder Wheel (2017)

By Robert Horton (590) for HeraldNet (Everett, WA) (288) on 08 Dec 2017

If Allen seemed half as engaged with the material as Storaro obviously is, we might have something here…

Review of Wonder Wheel (2017)

By Damien Straker (239) for Impulse Gamer (252) on 08 Dec 2017

Sadly, Wonder Wheel is not the film to break Allen out of this late creative rut…

Review of Wonder Wheel (2017)

By Kate Taylor (347) for Globe and Mail (2,419) on 08 Dec 2017

Although Wonder Wheel begins with a few of the witty ruptures of the fourth wall that have often enlivened Allen's work, it soon descends into…

Review of Wonder Wheel (2017)

By Chris Knight (998) for National Post (1,405) on 08 Dec 2017

Rather than moving forward organically, the plot feels pinched and pushed into place, like one of those map tables in a war movie, with generals…

Review of Wonder Wheel (2017)

By Lauren Carroll Harris (50) for Australian Book Review (21) on 07 Dec 2017

Autobiographical readings can be a lazy, obvious way to interpret the work of an artist, but with its triangular love affairs with stepdaughters…

Review of Wonder Wheel (2017)

By Travis Hopson (923) for Punch Drunk Critics (518) on 07 Dec 2017

To be fair, I think Allen is best when his mood is sour like this, but Wonder Wheel still feels like too much of a retread to get a pass…

Review of Wonder Wheel (2017)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 07 Dec 2017

Has a derivative feel, overly reminiscent not only of fifties Broadway drama but of some of Allen's previous pictures...while it probably won't…

Review of Wonder Wheel (2017)

By Gary Thompson (1,554) for Philadelphia Daily News (1,596) on 07 Dec 2017

A very sloppy piece of work, apart from the cinematography, which is pretty, and the Mills Brothers songs, which are fantastic…

Review of Wonder Wheel (2017)

By Susan G. Cole (137) for NOW Toronto (1,621) on 07 Dec 2017

The film pounds away at its metaphors: you get the carousel going round and round and the Wonder Wheel ride outside the family's apartment…

Review of Wonder Wheel (2017)

By Colin Covert (1,936) for Minneapolis Star Tribune (2,416) on 07 Dec 2017

This is another earnest, stylish, deeply observant late work from Allen, with only subliminal appearances from the jokey humor that made him…

Review of Wonder Wheel (2017)

By Roger Tennis (246) for Cinemaclips.com (246) on 07 Dec 2017

Solid performances can't overcome an anemic plot that's void of any sympathetic characters…

Review of Wonder Wheel (2017)

By Michael O'sullivan (1,712) for Washington Post (9,851) on 07 Dec 2017

Wonder Wheel may be scenic, but it goes nowhere — and slowly…

Review of Wonder Wheel (2017)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 07 Dec 2017

In code, Wonder Wheel dances along the edge of the writer-director’s off-screen life, namely the allegations by Dylan Farrow, Allen’s adopted…

Review of Wonder Wheel (2017)

By Jeffrey Edalatpour (80) for SF Weekly (560) on 07 Dec 2017

[Woody] Allen, however, strands Kate Winslet with [Jim] Belushi and Justin Timberlake…

Review of Wonder Wheel (2017)

By Barbara Vandenburgh (315) for Arizona Republic (3,909) on 07 Dec 2017

The dialogue is agony. Winslet is given some especial doozies to deliver with a straight face…

Review of Wonder Wheel (2017)

By Ty Burr (2,612) for Boston Globe (6,852) on 07 Dec 2017

Wonder Wheel, Allen’s new film, is one of the Very Bad Ones…

Review of Wonder Wheel (2017)

By Sean Burns (1,156) for The ARTery (128) on 07 Dec 2017

Storaro's innovative cinematography and dynamic visual flourishes are squandered in the service of Allen's exhausted, predictable peccadilloes…

Review of Wonder Wheel (2017)

By Ken Eisner (445) for Georgia Straight (1,078) on 07 Dec 2017

Wonder Wheel feels like it was made by someone who doesn't know real people-only the kind he has seen in movies…

Review of Wonder Wheel (2017)

By Adrian Mack (57) for Georgia Straight (1,078) on 07 Dec 2017

Tom of Finland briefly moves to California when Laaksonen's fortunes begin to rise in the '70s, but it becomes a weak-tea Boogie Nights along the way…

Review of Wonder Wheel (2017)

By Peter Howell (1,731) for Toronto Star (3,601) on 07 Dec 2017

Everything strains to serve an underwritten story that resembles a community theatre stage production more than a major motion picture…
