Variety

Pink, a veteran TV director who takes a rather self-important “a film by” credit on what feels like a first feature (it’s his fifth), shows almost no intuition for how to block or shoot a scene...

Noel Murray

Los Angeles Times

For all its formulaic faults, “The Wheel” is unusually astute about the ways some couples avoid the hard truths about each other because they’re afraid of ripping their whole lives apart.

Richard Roeper

Chicago Sun-Times

The four main players are all excellent, with Amber Midthunder delivering particularly outstanding work that shows she is a young actor capable of great things.

Rated: 3/4

Carla Hay

Culture Mix

The Wheel thinly stretches the 'will they or won't they break up' dilemma for the movie's central married couple, until the movie's very last scene, which is the best part of the film. This relationship drama is mostly well-acted but very repetitive.

48 Hills

At the end, everybody has discovered something about themselves. But I couldn’t help thinking that disillusionment and forgiveness was respectively doled out to entirely the wrong people.

Screen Zealots

An intimate indie drama about the hope and heartbreak of adult relationships that's painful but also hopeful.
