Despite going through the motions of milestone events similar to couples at their stage, such as buying a house together, and having their first child - a daughter named Ellie - unmarried Matteo and Adrienne could probably not admit to either him/herself or to the other that he/she is truly happy with their life together. The emerging problems by these milestones only highlight existing problems, such as the issue of exes, and the intense dislike and mistrust between her mother Patty and him. A traumatic incident leads to both going on a metaphysical journey of their lives together - their future based on how their life has been so far, and a revisiting of their past and what key moments actually meant in knowing what they know now. Each goes into this journey with a different mindset due to their different beliefs of their current state of being. The questions become whether they will emerge from the journey at all, and if they do whether the journey itself will lead them to a path of true happiness as a couple/family.
Leave your thoughts about Wander Darkly.
| RogerEbert.comSheila O'MalleyWander Darkly is not some misty-eyed golden-hued stroll down memory lane. The title of the film is eloquent. Darkness threatens every moment. |
| Original-CinKaren GordonLife, like love is messy. The beauty of the film is the way Miele, through the dilemma of Adrienne and Matteo, asks us to look at our own messy lives and see it through fresh eyes. |
| Film ThreatAlan NgWander Darkly is a hard watch that is worth it, as the movie will pull a few tears from your eyes at the end. |
| The PlaylistRobert DanielsChemistry wise, Miller and Luna work wonders together. Miller’s intense dynamic range: from impassioned to ebullient and afraid, plays well off of Luna’s boyish charm. They imbue these characters with troves of insecurities and mountains of love. |
| Austin ChronicleRichard WhittakerWhat really keeps Wander Darkly together is yet another convoluted, conflicted, and honest performance from Miller. |
| Entertainment WeeklyMary SollosiThe film’s greatest strength is the pairing of Miller and Luna, an immensely charismatic duo who give Adrienne and Matteo’s relationship (not to mention her metaphysical crisis) credibility even where Miele’s script does not. |
| The Hollywood ReporterLeslie FelperinSome may find this a path too well trodden by other movies, but what's refreshing is to see it through the eyes of a female protagonist for a change. |
| The GuardianCath ClarkeMiller is at the heart of the film; her natural and believable performance touches so many emotions, and makes them all look so real. |
| Los Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinAlthough the whole thing’s a bit of a jumble, the L.A.-set film becomes more immersive as we slowly adjust to its ambitious conceit and unique rhythms. A solid third-act twist helps square the preceding puzzle pieces and takes us out on a satisfying and moving note. |
| Movie NationRoger MooreThere are tips and too-obvious clues about what’s really going on here. And Miele drags out the finale, too, trying to bring on the tears. But Miller and Luna give this romance a history, weariness and testy spark that keeps Wander Darkly going even after we’ve guessed what its destination is. |
