Ryan Ross's Wheeler is at its strongest as a showcase for Stephen Dorff's husky, lived-in performance.February 09, 2017
The on screen proceedings drop hints about Dorff himself, of celebrityhood versus anonymity that come with the ambivalence of fame. And a possibly personal closeted desire to slip into another person's random skin and out of the limelight, for a change.February 01, 2017
One of the most masturbatory, self-congratulatory puff jobs I've ever seen.February 03, 2017
Dang if [Dorff] doesn't make this simple yet sincere saga hit more than a few high notes.February 03, 2017
Stephen Dorff makes Wheeler quite real. His great performance seals the deal.February 03, 2017
This faux documentary about a country music singer-songwriter plays like a long-distance ego trip.February 07, 2017
In piecing these elements into a narrative, Dorff and co-screenwriter Ross forgot that satisfying stories tend to place some disappointment and conflict between their heroes and success.February 02, 2017
A terrific film that deserves far more attention than its low-profile release is likely to receive.
