Peter Debruge 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... Jul 24, 2022 Full Review 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. Jul 22, 2022 Full Review 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 Jul 22, 2022 Full Review 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. Aug 22, 2022 Full Review Dennis Harvey 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. Jul 29, 2022 Full Review Louisa Moore Screen Zealots An intimate indie drama about the hope and heartbreak of adult relationships that's painful but also hopeful. Jul 27, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews
