Wrinkles the Clown Ratings & Reviews
Ryezoo
February 14, 2025
Another fascinating documentary topic ruined by being a boring and poorly executed doc. For something that was a little over an hour it dragged. It repeated the same content over and over. Most the interviews were pointless or went on far too long. Wrinkles deserves better.
FilmWeek (LAist)
Christy Lemire
A treatise on viral fame and the good and the bade sides of that.
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
Either clever or manipulative, depending on your point of view, this modest documentary about the titular urban legend ultimately lacks sufficient insight to justify a feature-length treatment.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
Nichols knew how to hold my attention, Wrinkles the Clown a celebration of petrifying delights that had my guts twisted into unbreakable knots.
The Daily Beast
Nick Schager
Comedic elements [are] key to the film, which soon delivers a twis that casts its entire portrait in a different light, causing viewers to reassess not only what they've just seen, but also their assumptions about cinematic and internet truth circa 2019.
CBR
Anthony Gramuglia
Wrinkles the Clown is at once unsettling, insightful and surprisingly heartwarming.
Los Angeles Times
Noel Murray
[T]he "Wrinkles the Clown" doc is still fairly horrifying. From the alarming reports of copycat clowns to the many scenes of youngsters reacting to Wrinkles rumors, this movie's a reminder that even abstract concepts can have a dark, persuasive power.
TheWrap
Elizabeth Weitzman
What Nichols finds is promising, but because of the way the movie is structured, the reveal feels like a murky cheat.
The Hollywood Reporter
John DeFore
While it hardly sells Wrinkles as a culture-shaking phenomenon, this modest doc will play best to those who enjoy being creeped out by him enough to suspend their disbelief.
Nightmarish Conjurings
Shannon McGrew
Wrinkles The Clown is a documentary that is absolutely worth watching as it's not only entertaining but it also gives the viewer something substantial to think about, especially if they're a parent.
Fresh Fiction
Preston Barta
What unfolds is a twisted experience that is unlike any other documentary. The journey of being wowed, confused and shocked is something that will never leave your memory. It's a new kind of nightmare.
Slant Magazine
Diego Semerene
The film's mid-act about-face lends a refreshing sense of complexity to an otherwise superficial depiction of Wrinkles.
Film Pulse
Adam Patterson
An entertaining documentary that explores both a wildly successful social experiment and the reasons behind its universal fascination.
Washington City Paper
Alan Zilberman
It is like the director read the article on Wrinkles and thought he had an idea for a feature-length film, only to realize the premise is not enough to sustain it.
Aisle Seat
Mike McGranaghan
Wrinkles the Clown takes you completely by surprise, saying something worthwhile about how people generate and respond to fear.
AV Club
Josh Modell
Wrinkles The Clown has only the vaguest of justifications for its misdirection, which ultimately proves much less entertaining than a movie about a creepy clown who terrorizes misbehaving children ought to be.
Birth.Movies.Death.
Leigh Monson
It's absolutely worth it to spend a little time with the mind of a man who scares children for a living, if only to gain a better understanding of why we collectively mythologize a man in a mask.
ComicBook.com
Patrick Cavanaugh
Sheds light not only on one of Florida's weirdest viral sensations, but also offers a fascinating exploration of folklore in the digital age.
Pajiba
Kristy Puchko
[Director Michael Beach] Nichols and Wrinkles The Clown make sure the joke is on us, their audience.
IGN Movies
Chris Tilly
Wrinkles the Clown is a documentary that frequently entertains, but lacks true insight into the viral phenomenon.
