Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.
BroadcastChic Excellent, a Must See
Taraparain Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.
Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
Poolie I just watched this pathetic movie, Its suppose to be a comedy but nothing is ever funny. The writing and direction are really bad but what totally destroys any chance this movie had to be bearable is the absolutely atrocious overacting by Woody Harrelson who plays Wilson as someone with the mental acuity, voice and facial expression of an annoying 5 year old child.Obviously the director had zero control as someone should have told Woody this was the single worst acting performance since....I cant even think of a worse performance in my decades of movie watching
bykou A close view to people they try manage their unbearable lives. An interesting scenario with turns and Woody as always great, simple and to the point. Good playing of the cast. When everything is lost, always there is something, even fake,that gives meaning to our lives. A good film makes you search deeper. Not for under 15.
jo eib Before i decided to watch this movie i read some IMDb reviews. It was a mixed bunch and i wanted to see it because i believed in the positive ones. Now that i have seen it, i can say they were totally right.Wilson is the story of an ordinary man who doesn't really want to take part in our modern society, mainly because of technology taking away social interactions. The movie does well in showing us the perverted lifestyle we developed because of technologies and capitalism. It made me think about these topics a lot and even affected me personally.I shed quiet a lot of tears, i was cought off guard by the movie and that is something i do not experience a lot.I would not describe this movie as a pure comedy, for me it is like 60% Drama and 40% comedy. In my opinion Wilson deserves a way higher rating.
TxMike My wife and I watched this at home on BluRay, picture and sound are great, "extras" are minimal.I like Woody Harrelson as an actor, but many of his roles are for unlikable characters. I had hoped his role as the protagonist, Wilson, would be a favorable one. It isn't.As it starts out we see Wilson is bright but socially awkward, whether it is among relatives, friends, or strangers he has a knack for saying the wrong thing. He smiles, he seems oblivious to how he comes across.Add to that his dirty mouth, while a bit of foul language can be appropriate, adding a spice to the character, listening to him is like trying to eat a steak with way too much pepper on it. You soon lose track of the character and just cringe at his foul language. Add to that as the story moves along several other characters, including his ex-wife and his long-lost 17-yr-old daughter, are scripted with extremely filthy language.This could have been a good movie, the characters could have been developed without so much emphasis on filthy language. But lazy script writers rely on this trick, it is an attempt to mask their lazy writing.
