Featuring an all-star Canadian cast, WILBY WONDERFUL is a warm ensemble comedy written and directed by the talented Daniel MacIvor. The small, island-town of Wilby is populated by islanders and off-islanders alike, but what all the characters share is a desire to love and be loved. Central to Wilby’s difficulties is a scandal that threatens to tear the town apart. Details are scarce, but rumors are flying with the threat of public exposure hovering over the lives of two central characters in the film. Dan (James Allodi) repeatedly attempts to take his own life, but is constantly interrupted. Real estate agent Carol French (the delightful Sandra Oh) frantically prepares for a town-wide celebration while her relationship with her husband Buddy, a town cop (Paul Gross) grows stagnant. Buddy flirts with infidelity with Sandra (Rebecca Jenkins) whose attempts to resuscitate a local restaurant depends on her decision to stay or leave the town; a decision Sandra’s daughter Emily (Ellen Page) frets about as she grows closer to a local boy whose motives for declaring his love for her grow suspect. WILBY WONDERFUL is a funny movie, filled with moments of gravity. MacIvor, whose first film was the emotional PAST PERFECT, directs with a light touch, allowing the ensemble of very strong performances shine. In this case, WILBY is truly wonderful.
“Wilby Wonderful” is a delightful gem I encountered through the Magnolia Arts Center. This Canadian film was directed by Daniel MacIvor who plays the little role of Stan, a cop that keeps trying to plant drug paraphernalia on a pristine beach to further a plot hatched by the mayor to turn it into a golf course. Unfortunately, Stan doesn’t know the difference between an unused insulin needle and a heroin addict’s discard. James Allodi who starred this year with Carrie-Anne Moss & Signorey Weaver in “Snow Cake” does a great job as the hapless divorcee Dan trying to kill himself rather than come to terms with his attraction to other men. Callum Keith Rennie plays Duck MacDonald, the town workman, who has an attraction to Dan, if he could ever catch him between suicide attempts. MacIvor generates comedy such as in the scene where Sandra Oh happens upon the hanging Dan and we hear the body clunk to the floor as she cuts him down off-camera. We know what’s happening and hear it, and laugh harder because we don’t see it. Rennie won the Canadian Oscar, the Genie, as best supporting actor for “Last Night” and also appeared in “The Butterfly Effect.” Sandra Oh who has become prominent via the hit TV series “Grey’s Anatomy” and films like “Under the Tuscan Sun” & “Sideways” turns in a stellar performance as the real estate woman Carol French who’d rather hide a body in an empty house rather than blow a sale. Her husband is Buddy who is the town cop played by Paul Gross who we saw as the Canadian mountie in the “Due South” TV series. Buddy is tempted toward an affair by local restaurant owner Sandra Anderson played by Rebecca Jenkins who was in the “10.5″ disaster TV movie. She also received a Genie nomination for Best Original Song for “Wilby Wonderful.” Her daughter Emily has to sort out her relationship with a boy. Emily is played by Ellen Page who currently appears in “X-Men 3″ and garnered a Best Supporting Actress Genie nomination for “Wilby Wonderful.” The little cafe patron who hates gays named Irene played by Mary Ellen MacLean also gives a delightful cameo performance. “Wilby Wonderful” is a film that speaks about tolerance and people’s need to be loved and find love. The characterizations are top drawer in this delightful little gem. BRAVO!
