If everything is connected, but you are feeling cut out of the chain, then u-substitution is the reverse attempt at integration. Pure existential calculus.

Really enjoyed this dry dry humor. Odd that they didn't check to find out it's age of adult is 19 not 17 in the state of Nebraska. That aside…they handled tough topics with care and it was nice to see a movie that didn't rely on nudity, violence and foul language.

Quirky oddball movie that is a lot of fun. Nick Offerman narration is great. The hero is a bit of an AHole, and the plot rocks.

With Frances Ferguson, Byington has crafted a funny dark comedy that's at once playful and sardonic, and a brilliant commentary on gender roles.

Rated: 3/4

Another chapter in an oeuvre that is so peculiar some of us will root for it to keep going.

There are narrative constructions in the film that make it less of a realistic drama and more of a stylized parable.

The Film Stage

[Wheless is] a hilariously off-kilter success, [but I] couldn't enjoy that aspect fully since it was built on the back of something that deserved more time to process.

Rated: C

Film Inquiry

Frances Ferguson captures the darkness of scandal, while finding the comedy and lightheartedness within such a dark subject matter.

Silver Screen Riot

A quirky bureaucratic procedural from the POV of [a] sex offender that somewhat jumbles its satirical take on the monotony of punishment.

Rated: C+
