Wrong does a lot right. For the little sense the film makes, it does create an excellent atmosphere and spot on comedic timing, but when you start to look past that, the film is as shallow as a kiddy pool.
The first thing I have had to come to accept about this film is it makes absolutely no sense. There is no logic to be found anywhere in the film. We follow a man who has recently lost his dog and how over several days he tries and fails to find him. The relationship he has with his pet is also romantic in how he yearns for his return, a joke played up to some good laughs. Makes sense? Well it gets shit-tonne weirder as we go through.
An agency that kidnaps pets, an insane woman who thinks her boyfriend can change his face at will, a gardener who dies but is inexplicably alive again without anyone bringing it up, a neighbour who has cant stop driving into remote areas without any explanation; all of this just feels wrong. it feels like the film is punishing anyone that is trying to make any logical connection between everything that is happening.
So I have had to come to accept that the film wrong is the movie equivalent of "I am the Walrus." Remember that Beatles song? The band was famously annoyed that people kept overanalysing their lyrics so made a song that was absolute nonsense. People of course tried to understand the meaning of the song despite it being utter bollocks. That's kinds what I feel the inspiration of this film is.
From a technical standpoint, lighting was warm and fit the twisted yet lighthearted tone the film had, cinematography made scenes feel weird of normal when appropriate and the sound design and editing were fine. Not much else to say but "Wrong" was not entirely wrong.
