Wilson

Wilson (2017) is available to watch online on iFILM — a deadpan comedy-drama directed by Craig Johnson, adapted from Daniel Clowes' graphic novel. Woody Harrelson leads, with Laura Dern and Mary Lynn Rajskub. USA, 94 minutes.

Wilson is middle-aged, alone, and constitutionally incapable of keeping his opinions to himself. He strikes up conversations with strangers on trains, lectures people who didn't ask, and means well in a way that consistently makes things worse. When his father dies, he tracks down his ex-wife and discovers he has a teenage daughter he has never met. The film follows his attempts to build something resembling a family — attempts that are sincere, misguided, and often genuinely funny. Harrelson walks the line between irritating and sympathetic without losing either quality, which is the whole trick. Stream Wilson (2017) online on iFILM.
