Wonder Wheel
'Wonder Wheel' is a fiercely brave deep-dive into Allen's late-life psyche - a rare glimpse at a singular artist in unexpected transition.
Wonder Wheel
WONDER WHEEL tells the story of four characters whose lives intertwine amid the hustle and bustle of the Coney Island amusement park in the 1950s: Ginny (Kate Winslet), an emotionally volatile former actress now working as a waitress in a clam house; Humpty (Jim Belushi), Ginny’s rough-hewn carousel operator husband; Mickey (Justin Timberlake), a handsome young lifeguard who dreams of becoming a playwright; and Carolina (Juno Temple), Humpty’s long-estranged daughter, who is now hiding out from gangsters at her father’s apartment. Cinematographer Vittorio Storaro captures a tale of passion, violence, and betrayal that plays out against the picturesque tableau of 1950s Coney Island.

FEATURED REVIEW
Stephen Whitty, New York Daily News
Woody Allen is back on that streetcar named Desire, again. But this time — with “Wonder Wheel” — it stops at Stillwell Ave. Like his “Blue Jasmine,” Allen’s latest borrows from the Tennessee Williams classic and its story of a coarse husband, a daydreaming heroine, a sudden visit, a violent ending.
