Wonder Wheel

Wonderful cinematography and shallow characters dominate Woody Allen's overly melodramatic, unevenly paced, 101-minute film in which the life of a migraine-prone, stressed-out, 39-year-old waitress (Kate Winslet) working at a clam house on Coney Island, who has a young, troubled arsonist son (Jack Gore), is turned upside down when she begins an affair with a handsome, wannabe-playwright lifeguard (Justin Timberlake) and then the sensuous, estranged daughter (Juno Temple) of her carousel operator husband (Jim Belushi) suddenly shows up after she left her gangster, racketeering husband with Mafia hit men (Steve Schirripa and Tony Sirico) hot on her trail in the 1950s.
