If you ever wondered why you should keep struggling in life and never stop trying harder, then you should watch this movie to know what may happen if you ever stopped struggling. You should make your decision out of 2 choices,either to live or to die. Living with drugs,prostitutes and committing suicide is absolutely painful and you are going to feel that pain in the movie.
We should wonder about how does it feel to be alive, not how does it feel to die. The darkness in aimless life, the bad company and overthinking about the past can easily keep you hold in place. And all of that is shown clearly in the well made scenes of that talented actors, in addition to the superb directing and photography that cared a lot about the details of the picture.
The movie has beautiful twists that will keep you alert for the story, but it may get boring at some points so you may need to play it at double speed.
Finally, Remember that "When you are at the bottom,you can only go up".

This is the kind of film that doesn't pretend to explain itself; the kind of film you can't start watching halfway and expect to find a resolution. It's the kind of film that requires you to remain seated, be still - and focus on what's really in front of you.
The premise of a paraplegic trying to end his life sets a dark yet humorous tone, but this quickly evolves into a sort of belated coming-of-age story. Add into the mix, a wheelchair-bound street junkie, poverty, prostitution and drugs - and you have the making of a needling and all-to-often relatable reality.
This story, given its almost two-hour length, doesn't dawdle and distract you with sub-plots. It is decisive and the story-telling is raw whilst remaining sensitive to the themes it explores. For those who are cast aside, life is seldom a thing of beauty or purpose.
If we can forgive a few sudden character swings, we are still left with an engaging and empathic representation of what going down the deep and dark rabbit hole truly looks like.

The review from taniqeb "A film not to walk away from" is about a good a review as you will get. Accurate and honest. So I won't add more, other than to say this is a great film that really hits the spot, a film I will won't forget. Ignore the negative reviews here, this is an excellent film from start to finish.
Drugs, prostitutes, suicide and a cute little bunny. I have seen tons of indie films this year and this is the one that grabbed me. Wheels is gritty, raw and and is so well done on so many levels. The score for the film is so fantastic and Mickey's fading memory was captured so very well. DO NOT MISS THIS FILM! This movie hooks you with great underwater darkness and by the time it's over, you feel like you have been hit over the head with reality. There's a true essence of pain that prevails through the end of the film and when it's all said and done, you walk out feeling the pain of a man who has been through hell to find himself on the other side.
A touching and often funny deep dive into the lives of a group of people with barely the resources to survive being homeless in Los Angeles. Two wheel-chair friends decide to pair up and share the burdens of their mental, emotional, and physical pain, limitations, and suffering. Finding comfort in anything they can reach for from their chairs, they do all they can to stave off an impending knowledge that they simply do not fit in society, and the sooner they come to terms with that, the sooner society can be finally rid of them. Once their greatest fears are met full on, we see the beauty and frailty in life they had so long ago lost faith in.
