Despite its hipster-coffeehouse soundtrack, foul mouth, randy characters, and violent patches, Wilby is wholesome and ultimately remarkable for its optimism.

Reviews for Wilby Wonderful
About as Canadian as Canadian movies get. And no, that's not a good thing.
Wilby Wonderful is pleasant enough storytelling with a handful of truly brilliant scenes.
Writer/director Daniel MacIvor does a wonderful job of establishing this small town...
A fine ensemble cast and a low-key approach that's both charming and a little dull.
