GRAND THEFT AI

“James Cox takes a deep dive into the L.A. snake pit, and Wonderland, in its sordid and shocking bad-vibe way, is a spectacular film — a squalid, mesmerizing thriller that never turns away from the truth of what it’s showing you. Just be warned: It’s one of the darkest movies ever made.”

OWEN GLIEBERMAN, Variety

“A film whose effects are as hard to wash away as blood.”

—MICHAEL O’SULLIVAN, Washington Post

“A compelling journey into the depths of hell on earth..”

—JAMES BERARDINELLI, Reel Views

—JOSH SAFDIE, co-writer/co-director Uncut Gems
