- Quotes
Mickey: Jesus, what a sheltered life I've led. I have book knowledge but you've really tasted life.
Carolina: You've been round the world.
Mickey: Yeah, but you've been around the block. You think you'll always be looking over your shoulder?
Carolina: Everybody dies, you can't walk around thinking about it.

"Wonder Wheel" is a dramatic unconventional romance by Woody Allen with a storyline of shattered dreams, unrequited love, jealousy and betrayal. The performance of Kate Winslet is top notch and Juno Temple, Jim Belushi and Justin Timberlake have also great performances. They all perform human characters very well developed. The film looks like a play, with few locations, but the cinematography is beautiful. The stylish soundtrack follows Woody Allen high-standard. My vote is seven.
Title (Brazil): "Roda Gigante" ("Ferris Wheel")
