Leave your thoughts about Wheeler.
| Los Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinIt’s a terrific film that deserves far more attention than its low-profile release is likely to receive. |
| RogerEbert.comSusan WloszczynaIs Wheeler filled with twangy clichés? Yes, but this attempt at pseudo cinema verite basically rests on Dorff’s slim, plaid-shirted shoulders—and dang if he doesn’t make this simple yet sincere saga hit more than a few high notes. |
| Slant MagazineKeith WatsonRyan Ross's Wheeler is at its strongest as a showcase for Stephen Dorff’s husky, lived-in performance. |
| The Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeViewers who don't mind the lack of dramatic tension may appreciate Dorff's credible take on his modest, gentlemanly character. |
| WBAI RadioPrairie MillerThe 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. |
| VarietyJoe LeydonThe term “vanity project” doesn’t come close to adequately describing the hubristic folly that is Wheeler, an excruciatingly dull and self-indulgent faux documentary |
| User ReviewJax R5 out of 5 stars. Not what I expected. A cleverly written story narrated along the way. Wheeler leaves his home town in Texas to make his way in Nashville with a little help from friends along the way. Beautifully haunting voice. Ignore the low ratings and check it out for yourself, especially if you are a country music fan. |
| User ReviewChris NNice to finally see Nashville in a film without a half baked romance blocking the view and drowning out the music. |
| User ReviewJeremy AStephen Dorff was an IT BOY in the late 80s, through the 90s, and then his types of roles started going to the newer, shinier versions. He truly inhabits this role convincingly, but the overall story is aw shucks saccharine. Add to that the album-load of songs that aren't that strong or catchy -- this film fails at establishing a musical theme and most of the songs are forgettable. |
