I admire its willingness to try new things even if they don’t always land.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 27, 2022

Good golly, I loathe this movie.

| Apr 22, 2021

Its emotional authenticity makes it a good film for (not just) young people.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 2, 2021

Chloe Sevigny and John Turturro also pop up in a film that sensibly runs to just 88 minutes, which is about as far as its charm will stretch.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 2, 2021

This fey, magical realism fable is an interesting mixture of winning charm, smug knowingness and vulnerability.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 12, 2021

The True Adventures of Wolfboy is a coming out party for much of the talent involved, and it would be rude not to light a few fireworks and celebrate with them.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 20, 2020

Wolfboy Animal Instincts Rule. This visually impressive outing harboring a cruel heart has the trappings of an enticing confection - with a toxic list of ingredients attached. And more akin to those those kid takeover "beware the children" horror movies.

| Nov 14, 2020

a thoughtful, meaningful paean to outcasts, oddballs, and dreamers, hirsute and otherwise

| Original Score: 3/4 | Nov 14, 2020

The performances of most of the actors are worth seeing in this coming-of-age story that can be rambling and unfocused but redeems itself with the emotionally touching moments in the last third of the film.

| Nov 14, 2020

The True Adventures of Wolfboy is a thoughtful, gentle look at what it means to be a kid who is different...treats the emotions of its young heroes with respect, allowing for a story that offers genuine feelings

| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 10, 2020

Wolfboy's adventure may be a familiar one as a whole, but it still ends up as a worthwhile journey.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Nov 7, 2020

This is a good-looking film with some nice stylistic touches and even a nod to Turturro's legendary Jesus Quintana character from The Big Lebowski. But it never addresses some real behavioral problems...

| Original Score: 2/4 | Nov 6, 2020

Beneath the odd moments is a strong message about self-acceptance and identity.

| Nov 6, 2020

"The True Adventures Of Wolfboy" is a reminder that adolescence isn't easy for anyone in the best of circumstances, and that any flaw - actual or perceived - is especially painful at that point in life.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 6, 2020

Sharply well written and directed, this colourful coming-of-age odyssey is a gripping adventure populated with wonderful characters.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Nov 6, 2020

A quietly stylish. well- acted coming-of-age adventure.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Nov 6, 2020

Crafted as a kind of fable or fairy tale, this coming-of-age story inspires empathy for its hero as effortlessly as Mask or Wonder did, but with more gleeful irreverence and irresistible pluck.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 3, 2020

At every moment, I was holding my breath and waiting for this film to become treacle, just absolute cotton candy. To the credit of director Martin Krejcí and writer Olivia Dufault: they take some time choices. They don't sugarcoat everything.

| Oct 30, 2020

I appreciated that it didn't have easy answers... It's worth telling and well-told.

| Oct 30, 2020

Good-natured, often humorous, and always entertaining.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 30, 2020
