Wonder Wheel

Sunday, Sky Premiere HD, 9.20am & 6.10pm ★★★

DIRECTOR WOODY ALLEN is back on familiar ground with this creaky but engaging melodrama set in 1950s Coney Island, New York’s gaudy seaside playground, where Kate Winslet’s waitress begins an affair with a handsome young lifeguard (Justin Timberlake).

How much you enjoy this will depend on your attitude to latterday Allen, but stick with it and you will be rewarded by Winslet’s incandescent leading turn. 2017, 12, 101min
