Stephen Dorff makes Wheeler quite real. His great performance seals the deal.

Ryan Ross's Wheeler is at its strongest as a showcase for Stephen Dorff's husky, lived-in performance.

This faux documentary about a country music singer-songwriter plays like a long-distance ego trip.

Variety
A terrific film that deserves far more attention than its low-profile release is likely to receive.

Rating: 4/10 --
The imitation of the standard music doc style is so perfect that an unknowing viewer would easily think that Wheeler's story is real... It's a pity that it can't parlay this stylistic proficiency and the asset they have in Dorff into any real point.

[T]his attempt at pseudo cinema verite basically rests on Dorff’s slim, plaid-shirted shoulders -- and dang if he doesn’t make this simple yet sincere saga hit more than a few high notes.

In a perfect world, Stephen Dorff would compete in next year’s Oscar race for his poignant disappearing act in WHEELER, a fictional tale given docudrama-like treatment by director Ryan Ross, who co-wrote with Dorff. It’s a terrific film...

Product Description:
Wheeler (Stephen Dorff), a would-be country musician from small-town Texas, journeys to Nashville in an attempt to make a name for himself. There, he performs his material for the locals, meets country stars like Kris Kristofferson, and tries to break into the industry. Dorff wore prosthetic makeup while playing the title role, which allowed him to perform in character at real-life Nashville venues.
