Wander Darkly strives from the confusion that creates not only on its characters but on its audience. This drama uses a convoluted premise to reflect about a love story that is profoundly broken.

| Original Score: B- | Mar 20, 2023

The result is a touching and meaningful reminiscence on how to get to that light at the end of the tunnel.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 9, 2022

A look at grief, memories, and trauma told brilliantly via a dreamlike approach. Anchored by two exceptional lead performances from Luna and Miller.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Apr 3, 2022

As the film spins its wheels on the question of what is real and isn't, that gimmicky mystery overwhelms whatever interest Miller generates in her character's plight.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Oct 30, 2021

Wander Darkly is thoroughly Just Fine.

Sienna Miller is a formidable centrepiece in the drama about a couple forced to review their relationship history after a car crash. But she is held down by a story that feels like it was clipped together in a rush.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 2, 2021

Watching a couple bicker is never much fun but, while the good times are rolling, the film's high concept and abundance of passion are impressive.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 24, 2021

Wander Darkly is a superficial relationship drama lazily gussied up in the form of a clunky metaphysical thriller.

| Mar 22, 2021

Not to worry. The phoney-baloney sunbeams can't mar the dark magic of what's gone before.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 17, 2021

The film's account of how memories shift and evolve has a fizzy confidence, so Miele could surely have afforded to make it weirder, instead of tidying it up with a pat ending.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 15, 2021

The fluidity of Tamara Meem and Alex O'Flinn's editing here is astonishing, and heavily reminiscent of 2004's Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind - though director Tara Miele never pushes for the same level of absurdity.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 12, 2021

Wander Darkly is ambitious and striking yet infuriatingly tricksy.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 8, 2021

...somewhere between Ghost and Jacob's Ladder, but more blurred, adult and agonising than either...

| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 5, 2021

Miller is at the heart of the film; her natural and believable performance touches so many emotions, and makes them all look so real.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 3, 2021

Nevertheless, Miller does a lot with what she has and ensures the film never tips its hand about what's really going on until Miele is ready to do so.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 3, 2021

An ambitious failure.

| Mar 2, 2021

A beautifully made, visually stunning exploration of life's broadest questions. Though it dazzles, there is a shallowness and unanchored nature to the film, one which dilutes its potential.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 16, 2021

While mostly a downer of a film, Wander Darkly gets points for not trying to gloss over the faults of its characters, delivering a story that earns its emotions thanks to its authenticity.

| Feb 4, 2021

Wander Darkly is a surreal romance, a painful, yet beautiful expression of what it means to be in love, and what two people will do to achieve that connection.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jan 29, 2021

Here is a movie that feels specifically tied to a woman's ruminations on grief and guilt. It moves past revelation to resolution, and becomes rather touching along the way.

| Original Score: A | Jan 19, 2021
