Wonder Wheel is a 2017 American period drama film written and directed by Woody Allen and starring Kate Winslet, Jim Belushi, Juno Temple, and Justin Timberlake.

The story follows the second wife and the estranged daughter of a carousel operator as they both pursue affairs with a lifeguard.
The film served as the closing night selection at the 55th New York Film Festival on October 14, 2017, and was released on December 1, 2017, by Amazon Studios. The film received mixed reviews, with criticism for Allen's screenplay, but widespread praise for Winslet's performance and Vittorio Storaro's cinematography.
