Review of Wonder Wheel (2017) by Jason C — 16 Dec 2017
One of the most disappointing and depressing films I have seen in many years. I get it. Woody Allen finds angst really appealing. I don't. This is a study in grimey, hopeless misery. I was hoping Kate Winslet and Justin Timberlake would offer strong performances.
They didn't. Jim Belushi was routinely awkward. The only redeeming aspect of the film was the F/X that recreated 1950s Coney Island. The rest was a pretentious, artsy exercise in Woody Allen's self-indulgence.
