Movie review: Ferris Wheel
Ferris Wheel is a film from 2026. It is catalogued under Drama, Thriller.
Story
Maria raises her two sons, Ryan and Dario, on her own. The three of them run the shooting stand at a small traveling fair. After a motorcycle ride with his older brother, Dario disappears and remains missing. It’s only the next day that he reappears—injured and completely silent... Twenty years later, after their mother’s death, the two brothers reunite. Dario has rebuilt his life in Canada, while Ryan stayed behind in Ferris Wheel, surviving off the stand and small-time hustles. Dario rediscovers this forgotten world of the fairground and the family it harbors. But one night, among Ryan’s circle, he unexpectedly comes face to face with one of his former captors. From that moment on, the two brothers must grapple—with vengeance on one side, and forgiveness on the other...
