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

Screen International - Graham Fuller
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 - Owen Gleiberman
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 - Kimber Myers
This is an imperfect, if entirely beautiful, film.

TheWrap - Dan Callahan
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.
