Wonder Wheel Ratings & Reviews
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
Winslet steals the show as the yearning wife, but the real star is veteran cinematographer Vittorio Storaro (The Conformist, Apocalypse Now, The Last Emperor).
Film Comment Magazine
Michael Sragow
The plot and the structure undercut the affection Allen has for his salt-of-the-seaside characters. The writer-director falls in love with a tidy narrative arc that ends up more like a vicious circle.
Detroit News
Adam Graham
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. But "Wonder Wheel" is a ride to nowhere.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Calvin Wilson
Like the fairground ride for which it's named, "Wonder Wheel" is entertaining but not enlightening.
Tribune News Service
Katie Walsh
As we watch Allen worry and nitpick over the way women fret over aging, painting Ginny as pathetic, jealous, insecure, and clownish, it's dull, unoriginal, and offensive. Frankly, we've have enough Woody Allen takes on this subject.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
It's as if Allen is disinterested in his own material, his unfocused meanderings from one event to the next making Ginny's story more of an exercise in selfish materialistic excess than it is anything substantive.
Baltimore Magazine
Max Weiss
If you're still open to [Woodie Allen] as an important American artist, this is definitely one to put on your list.
San Diego Reader
Matthew Lickona
If 2016's Café Society was writer-director Woody Allen's attempt to introduce a younger generation to the world of Woody Allen, then this might just be his followup attempt to show the Kids of Today what a filmed Tennessee Williams play looks like.
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
[A] well-acted, yet pointless and, most disappointingly, dull tale of lust.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
Line to line, "Wonder Wheel" clunks and groans.
Austin Chronicle
Steve Davis
As is the case with most of Allen's films in the last 25 years or so, the script plays like a first draft, with the characters spouting stilted dialogue you'd never use in conversation, much less ever say out loud.
Arizona Republic
Barbara VanDenburgh
The dialogue is agony. Winslet is given some especial doozies to deliver with a straight face.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
"Wonder Wheel" will strike fans as an embarrassment and doubters as further evidence of decline - proof of Allen's lack of interest or engagement in a world beyond his shrinking artistic comfort zone.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
Then again, there is something artificial, or at least heightened and operatic, about the entire movie - the sets, the colors, the situations, the performers.
Chicago Sun-Times
Richard Roeper
All hokum. All window dressing for a limp, underwhelming, irritating soap opera.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
It's just a bad movie; a flat melodrama in which some lovely camerawork and a ferocious central performance from Winslet can't conceal the rote tiredness of it all.
Observer
Rex Reed
I've often written that even on a bad day, Woody Allen is better than everybody else on Sunday. This is true again of Wonder Wheel.
Village Voice
Alan Scherstuhl
Rather than loose, the ensemble often seems underrehearsed, and too many of Winslet's lines have little impact.
leonardmaltin.com
Leonard Maltin
That's what's missing from the movie: pleasure. Allen is apparently trying to channel Eugene O'Neill in his portrayal of this forlorn family, but Wonder Wheel is no Long Day's Journey Into Night. It's not even long; it just feels that way
The Ringer
Adam Nayman
This is sophisticated filmmaking, but so what? Wonder Wheel is magical in a superficial way; it has a surface beauty that can't disguise the material's basic banality and ugliness-or the feeling that we've seen it all before.
