Wonder Wheel
Description
WONDER WHEEL tells the story of four characters whose lives intertwine amid the hustle and bustle of the Coney Island amusement park in the 1950s: Ginny (Kate Winslet), an emotionally volatile former actress now working as a waitress in a clam house; Humpty (Jim Belushi), Ginny's rough-hewn carousel operator husband; Mickey (Justin Timberlake), a handsome young lifeguard who dreams of becoming a playwright; and Carolina (Juno Temple), Humpty's long-estranged daughter, who is now hiding out from gangsters at her father's apartment. Cinematographer Vittorio Storaro captures a tale of passion, violence, and betrayal that plays out against the picturesque tableau of 1950s Coney Island.

Amid the fading romance of this Brooklyn amusement park, there's a wan lustre to the raging against the dying of the light by these weary, frazzled souls.

Like the fairground ride for which it's named, "Wonder Wheel" is entertaining but not enlightening.
December 27, 2017
But the weird rhythms of the dialogue and the familiarity of the characters finally keep us from ever feeling invested in their story.

Whatever its director's motivations, a work so contemptuous of its own heroine is always going to border on the offensive.

... Allen manages to change the hilarity of his universe by a deranged portrait of absolute desolation in which all narrative elements converge due to their own discordance. [Full review in Spanish]

A sporadically agreeable misfire...

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.
December 11, 2017
Wonder Wheel seems more like a cobbled-together afterthought than the romantic melodrama it seeks to be.

... a combination of drama, tragedy, romance, some comedy, a side of gangster thriller... [Full review in Spanish]
December 12, 2017
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.

In any other inkwell [it] would be a striking experiment; within the filmography of Woody Allen is too similar to his other films. [Full Review in Spanish]

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.
