Reviews

IndieWire -
Winslet delivers her most powerful, emotionally resonant performance in more than a decade.

Screen International -
It would be going too far to say Wonder Wheel is an instant Woody Allen classic, but it’s a reminder that he’s still a force to be reckoned with and a great director of actresses especially.

|
Variety -
It’s got movement and flow, it’s got a vibrant sunset look of honky-tonk nostalgia, and it’s got a bittersweet mood of lyrical despair that the film stays true to right up until the final note. It’s also strikingly acted.

|
The Playlist -
This is an imperfect, if entirely beautiful, film.
|
|
TheWrap -
Allen is too self-aware and cold a creative personality to create a genuine tragedy in Wonder Wheel. Instead, he makes a gesture towards a tragic situation.
