Nichols knew how to hold my attention, Wrinkles the Clown a celebration of petrifying delights that had my guts twisted into unbreakable knots.

Rated: 2.5/4

Comedic elements [are] key to the film, which soon delivers a twis that casts its entire portrait in a different light, causing viewers to reassess not only what they've just seen, but also their assumptions about cinematic and internet truth circa 2019.

It's skillfully put together, and interesting from a sociological perspective. The film also provides a welcome balance to this month's cheerful devotion to frights in general.

I felt like the film had a lot of interesting twists and turns and has a fantastic second portion which I cannot reveal.

A timely documentary about modern folklore, coulrophobia's origin, viral influence and the dark side of child psychology...

Not horrific as it sounds nor as it looks as it basically explains a phenomenon amid revising imagery and folklore conceptualizing with expected viewpoints mostly checked off, but the bloated documentary values in unveiling the human spirit under the mask while deconstructing the code, as it already was, in decreasing engagement. (B-)

Why does wrinkles have a documentary? The only sole reason I watched this film is because everybody at my school saw it and I saw it and it sucked. Don't see the appeal for wrinkles. Hope wrinkles doesn't come to my house now so if I offend you wrinkles I apologize. It's not your fault, it's the movie makers fault.

I rarely quit movies half way through. I fast forwarded through the entire second half and didn't miss a thing.

Overall, Wrinkles the Clown was an okay documentary about Wrinkles the Clown who became a internet sensation quickly, but Wrinkles is not all he appears. Wrinkles did cause other clowns to come out in different states in the United States creating scary situations, but the reasoning behind Wrinkles is interesting and some audience members may understand the social experiment.
