Adam Nayman · The Globe and Mail (Toronto) 75.00/100.00

Truth be told, Wrong isn’t as funny as "Rubber," which played kamikaze games with horror-movie tropes. The tone here is flatter and more meandering, and more than a few of Dupieux’s digressions feel like dead ends. At the same time, there’s a winning confidence to the filmmaking, which is deceptively stylish.

Marc Mohan · Portland Oregonian 75.00/100.00

Wrong never feels dangerous or truly challenging, content generally to amuse rather than amaze.

Eric D. Snider · Film.com 75.00/100.00

Wrong is more absurd and more laugh-out-loud silly than “Rubber;” it’s also less focused and more pointless.

Bill Goodykoontz · Arizona Republic 60.00/100.00

Fichtner is always good; just trying to sort out his accent here is kind of fun. Plotnick is the key, however. He plays it straight, even as the world around him grows weirder by the minute. Often he seems confused by the proceedings, which is fitting: Join the club, pal. But we’re having a better time of it than he is.

Alan Scherstuhl · Village Voice 70.00/100.00

The film's heady buzz is invigorating, and there are substantial pleasures—and laughs—to be found in all its real-life-just-gone-sour strangeness.

Tasha Robinson · The A.V. Club 67.00/100.00

It’s a Dada daydream of a movie, but no one who sits through it can complain that they weren’t warned up front.

Andrew O'Hehir · Salon 80.00/100.00

As this wry, dry and glittering near-masterpiece proclaims, life is full of wrongness, but also full of mystery and wonder.

Ignatiy Vishnevetsky · Chicago Sun-Times 63.00/100.00

The movie is flimsy, glib, and occasionally pretty funny.

John DeFore · The Hollywood Reporter 70.00/100.00

If the premise isn't as attention-grabbing as Rubber's was, the execution should help build the filmmaker's following.
