Wilson

• Comedy
• Drama

A compulsively honest and often devastating comedy-drama, *Wilson* follows a cheerfully pathetic, divorced man as he attempts connection – first with his estranged teenage daughter and then, unexpectedly, with a woman equally adrift. The film distinguishes itself not through grand narrative arcs, but through a relentless focus on the awkward, uncomfortable realities of loneliness and the yearning for belonging. Its humor isn’t celebratory, but arises from a deeply melancholic observation of human flaws, presented with a startlingly direct, almost anthropological gaze. Unlike typical father-daughter narratives, this film harbors no saccharine reconciliation, instead charting a path of prickly acceptance and mutual co-existence. It’s a uniquely unsettling portrait of a man grappling with his past failures, finding purpose not in transformation, but in the simple act of showing up, even when deeply unwanted.
