Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaSeveral scenes were filmed at the Ramsey County Correctional Facility in St. Paul, Minnesota, USA which is a working correctional facility. While filming in the jail, Woody Harrelson asked for the air conditioning to be turned off. This request was denied due to the inconvenience that it would place on the officers, staff, and inmates of the facility.
- GoofsWilson's cellmate is reading Psalm 23 (and Wilson repeats after him) from the Good News Bible (Good News Translation), but the words they are speaking are the King James Version: "...he maketh me lie down in green pastures, he leadeth me beside the still waters, he restoreth my soul." (1:04:53-1:05:10) Also the cellmate is holding the Bible open to about 1/3 of the way through, but the Psalms are around the midpoint of the Bible.

Featured review
A slice of life is how I describe these movies, where one sees the common and mundane in a certain context.
Wilson is the story of an average misunderstood man from another time who is shown as hurting and caring but perseveres to try and find meaning in his otherwise drab existence. An average man who, by today's standards, is the bogeyman but as this poster can attest, speaks of an era where people were unique and opinionated instead of self-absorbed and indifferent.
I am looking forward to a second viewing to further see the depth of Harrelson's Wilson. And if there are other Clowes/Eightball fans out there who haven't seen Wilson yet, I recommend it. I also hope The Death-Ray and Ice Haven are made into movies.
