I am Speechless...

| Jul 26, 2023

Wolf approaches its potentially preposterous premise with affecting authenticity, drawing painful parallels to terrorized communities today.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 1, 2022

It's an intriguing concept that lies on the surface without much meaningful exploration.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Jun 8, 2022

I wanted Wolf to commit more fully to the madnesses of its setting and its players, but this is still well worth a look.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 3, 2022

Biancheri’s trippy display owes a lot to the films of Yorgos Lanthimos, and MacKay works hard. But his efforts are wasted on a flat, disjointed and annoyingly ostentatious venture.​​​​​​

| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 24, 2022

The subject of species dysphoria is a fascinating one, but Biancheri’s screenplay does not dig deep enough to yield convincing character arcs and the bravery of her cast is largely squandered.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 18, 2022

This Irish-Polish co-production is excellently cast, continually asks us what it means to be human and offers the opportunity to recharge our compassion. However, the feeling persists that more connection and tension could have been mined from the story.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 18, 2022

Wolf is a film which deals with a highly psychologically complex condition, all while managing to weave in an ill-fated love story and a host of nuanced characters with tremendous skill.

| Mar 18, 2022

Wolf is a film that leaves the audience in a bizarre state of confusion, concern, and anger.

For a movie about people letting out their inner animals, be they large bears or diminutive tree rodents, Wolf is remarkably dull.

If you want to see an aimless movie where people who think they are wild animals are physically and emotionally abused in a psychiatric institution, then Wolf is the movie for you.

There's a lot to unfurl, but Nathalie Biancheri's sophomore feature is a gripping narrative that unconventionally tackles key aspects of adolescence.

At a 100 minutes you deserve a treat if you sit through it.

| Original Score: C- | Dec 12, 2021

It's trying to be artistic, but it's mimicking what an art film would be... It feels like it's imitating a better filmmaker.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Dec 11, 2021

There's an inspired spirit animal inside Wolf and unfortunately the final result is nothing to howl about.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Dec 10, 2021

Biancheri certainly challenges us in this film to think outside the box while her characters remain in one.

| Original Score: 2.5/4.0 | Dec 9, 2021

There are strange mixed messages going on, none that seem to work.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Dec 8, 2021

The uncomfortable experience will likely stir within you days after viewing it... but it also leaves its audience with more questions, apathy, and overall confusion about what it is really trying to say.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 6, 2021

The tone is ambiguous to a fault, detrimentalizing Wolf's message with uncertain humor and obvious anti-psychological bromides that land more like a hail of dull stones than they do the soft whisper of animal paws on forest grass that it's aiming for

| Dec 6, 2021

Wolf's premise has a young man with species identity disorder committed to a facility run by a barbaric psychologist. George MacKay's impressive lead performance helps the film to overcome its flaws.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 6, 2021
