Critics Consensus

Wrong is strange and meandering, but its absurdist vignettes reveal a unique, wry wit.

Something is wrong and sometimes we just don't know it or don't want to Director Quentin Dupieux makes a very surreal non-linear story filled with wit and pondering This focuses on a firefighter named Dolph Springer played by John Plotnick One day he wakes up to find out his dog Paul is missing Then he starts denying he's actually lost his job and keeps showing up like it's no big deal A palm tree in his yard then shows up replacing an old pine tree It also inexplicably starts raining in his office and he's the only one who can see it His need to live in a world of denial applies to all the parts of his life that are not working This has a David lynch-like quality to it without giving straight up answers That can prove to be challenging for viewers but it's a risk that's worth taking A lot of this narrative is confusing yet it feels like a dream an abstract one at best

Hace un par de semanas revisando los nuevos torrents, vi un nombre de una película que me llamo la atención: "Wrong" Busco las reseñas y sin mucha más información, procedo a descargarla. Antes de verla reviso la ficha nuevamente y descubro que es el mismo director de Rubber. Mis expectativas suben rápidamente y a los 3 minutos de película me doy cuenta que estoy en camino a otra obra de arte absurdo y que mis expectativas serían más que llenadas

I honestly didn't understand anything that was happening. This fact made me sad.

3.7/5 Wrong doesnt that much to it beyond the almost impossibly unique vision of Quention Depieux, but that vision alone is what makes the film and absolute blast to sit through just to attempt to grasp at the insanity that it presents.

Seems everything is wrong, but in a funny way. Surely a much better film than the previous one by the director. 'Rubber' had the innovation, but the type of dark comedy was not for everyone, especially not for me, though I appreciated the effort. I liked this one, it was simple and slow yet they knew how to end it. It had twists and turns, but the small ones. Plus, the actors were very good. So it's a decent indie film, feels like I might have rated it low. A man wakes up in the morning to find his dog gone missing. But as his neighbour advised him, he proceeds his rest of the day thinking the dog would come back and it does not. So he goes after some mysterious message and learns it has to do with his dog's missing. He follows all the instruction and waits for a good news, but what happens at the end is a little surprise. Apart from the snail pace which actually deliberately done, definitely the film can be enjoyed. Not easy to understand the meaning of the title, but that's what this film is about where everything seems wrong. If you decide to watch it, forget the logics, sit back and enjoy it. Because you won't see films like this everyday. I suggest it for those who are looking for a break from the regular comedies. 6/10

The whole film feels a bit like a dream after a late-night burrito, leaving you wondering if moments in the film actually happened, particularly when mulling over it the next day.

Wrong wears out its welcome even at 94 minutes.

Globe and Mail

There's a winning confidence to the filmmaking, which is deceptively stylish - Dupieux favours nervy close-ups and blurred foregrounds - and some real soul in Plotnick's performance.

Rated: 3/4

When a film isn't even excited about itself enough to keep its ending a secret, what is there for us to get excited about?

I might have felt like it was slow moving, but the pacing is actually quite appropriate for the material.

Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta)

Apart from arousing fitful curiosity, this stretch of surrealism yawns into an arid expanse of flat quirkiness. Meanders between torquing noir clichés and drifting through a funhouse-mirror-maze of SoCal conventions. Little strange poetry emerges.
