Wander - Movie

WANDER Trailer (2020) Tommy Lee Jones, Aaron Eckhart, Heather Graham Movie
Movie Coverage

An odd little film. We've got a couple of guys living in travel trailers out in the middle of nowhere, doing a regular conspiracy theory podcast. One of them has suffered a tragedy, add in the pain pills for his physical injuries and he's not the most clear headed thinker, he might even be slightly deranged. He gets a call to investigate a murder in the town of Wander, and so he goes and digs around and discovers some real evil things going on. Or does he? Is this all a delusion? There are all kinds of things that don't make a lot of sense, but there's all kinds of weird stuff too. And just when you think everything has been explained, something else happens that flips your understanding of what's going on. Is he deluded, or did this stuff really happen? That flip happens more than once, and even at the end it still wasn't clear.

The subtitle on Variety's review is:

Director April Mullen and writer Tim Doiron’s latest collaboration is a paranoid thriller too twisty for its own good.

Amazon Prime, I think.

There was some kind blurb about 'land acknowledgement' at the beginning. I don't know who is promoting these things, but they strike me as annoying nonsense, kind of like the Black Lives Matter propaganda that flooded the country recently. They do this before the start of shows at Portland Center Stage, too. Stupid Limousine Bolsheviks.
