Wonder Wheel: A Meta Review

Reviewed by Lee Hill

If you want a review of Wonder Wheel, Woody Allen’s 48th feature film as writer and director, the following will prove disappointing or perhaps, even upsetting. Go ahead cry, fume, tsk tsk or rant – tweet if I care. This is a meta-review of Wonder Wheel (not to be confused with Woody Allen Summer Project 2017 aka A Rainy Day in New York, which may or may not be the last summer project ever depending on where we all are this time in six months). It is a response to the lazy, armchair moralizing that has passed for film criticism and to a lesser, but still crucial extent, the tenor of activism via social media when Allen’s name comes up.
