What to Know

Critics Consensus

Wander benefits from Aaron Eckhart's strong leading performance, but his efforts aren't enough to support the story's increasingly cuckoo twists and turns.

[Wander] is kind of a drag at times, despite the energy director Mullen puts into the scenario's depiction. Go to Full Review Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times Dec 2, 2020

Admirably ambitious albeit ultimately bonkers... Go to Full Review Jordan Mintzer The Hollywood Reporter Sep 18, 2020
Perhaps the biggest problem with Wander is that, as much as it tools with the viewer until the very last shot, tossing out tons of red herrings and false leads, it never really trusts in the viewer's intelligence. Go to Full Review Jessica Scott Nightmarish Conjurings Dec 27, 2022
With no emotional stakes and a confusing central conspiracy, Wander is a thriller without thrills and a political statement that doesn’t know what it wants to say. Go to Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy Apr 28, 2021
1.5/4
One of the lamest episodes of The X-Files never made, Wander actually brings to mind the name of Mad magazine's spoof of the cult series. Just call this The Ecch-Files. Go to Full Review John Serba Decider Apr 19, 2021
Wander tries to be a taut thriller, but after a while, it just wears you down. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Director gets an A for effort but movie never gets there. Heather always crazy good. See more Cristian s @cristiansj May 17, 2025 Tiene momentos confusos y que rozan el absurdo pero sabiendo el tema de conspiraciones se entiende porque va así. Aunque la trama tiene algún bache el ritmo y las buenas actuaciones la mantienen a flote. Los últimos 5 minutos diría que son los mejores. See more Paolo G @RT09000941 Aug 11, 2024 a wasted opportunity. Aaron eckart gives a strong acting (more than other times) for a weak and messed up story. From the moment the character declares jimmy's death, the director turns on himself to create a game of rebounds and surprises that fails. Instead of confusing the viewer to show him a reality different from what was expected, he confuses everything resulting not very believable and the plot twist is worse than the confusion. The ending with the pressing soundtrack irritates even more. But anyway Aaron Eckart and TL Jones playing together are better than noting See more William R @willierod Apr 14, 2024 Things just didn't add up, we need it Scully and Mulder to came and save the film See more Read all reviews
