As fresh and side-splitting today as it was when it entered theaters during a much different era.

Perhaps the “Wonder” in "Wonder Wheel" is that anyone agreed to produce something so tired, joyless, and uninspired.

An evocative movie with a vaguely disappointing narrative that doesn’t justify the patience viewers must exhibit.

There’s always a place for good acting, clever dialogue, and a sense of humor, even if the narrative teeters between incidental and irrelevant.

The disappointment of what this movie could have been dogs it as it navigates safe, predictable roads to a preordained conclusion.

The narrative effectively marries the character based-aspects with the mystery-thriller ones.
