I really love the other titles this family has given us. My expectations for a film are rather particular and my tastes are a little exacting. Not many pictures particularly move me. When I heard Wonder Wheel had a new movie, I was genuinely excited. Trying to keep my hopes in check, I still knew they're not going to shy away from making a gripping movie that's unafraid of a supernatural concept. The creepy carnival gig is right up my proverbial street.
But there's so little plot. This isn't a movie so much as an art project and a showcase for their daughter's ability to sing a capella.
I respect what they were going for, I respect what they were trying to accomplish but it's not for me, as much as I really wanted it to be.
