Wolf Mother

Movie Marmite.

Not for everyone but I loved it.

So I understand the dichotomy of reviews.

A certain level of intelligence is required to fully understand and appreciate the many threads of human issues being dealt with.

Erik Peter Clarkson creates a magical fancy french plait of filmography.

From the hugely gritty opening scene to the heartbreaking closing scene, I was utterly mesmerised throughout.

At times. I was holding my breath. Other times I was in tears. Couldn't look away.

It was a spectacular rollercoaster and I will need to watch it again many times to fully appreciate it all.

Knowing the outcome will make any re-watch that much more amazing. I can't wait.

Really not sure where all these massively negative reviews are coming from. If you couldn't follow it, just say that. No need to make out it was rubbish because there wasn't one bad scene or one bit of bad acting in any part of it.

I thought all the acting was amazing. Then suddenly an amazing brief cameo by Tom Sizemore which blew my mind (for those that have seen it, will understand the pun there).

How was this not a bigger hit? Had the same feeling about Boondock Saints.

This director is a genius who I would not be surprised if he has been inspired by QT.

I loved the performances by Pinassi, and Townsend. Not everyone will like this movie, but if you like excitingly daring films, you will love this one. The soundtrack is amazing, all songs are just the perfect choice. I enjoyed every minute of the movie and I could watch over and over. Sadly it's not yet released. I don't want to say too much about the film because there are no words to describe what I felt when I watched it, it is an experience you have to see for yourself. I really admire Carlson's imagination, how could he think about writing such a weird and incredible story? I watched his last film Toy Soldiers, but yet to see his first one. A true talent.

Everything about Wolf Mother grabbed me from the first ten minutes in. I was already intrigued by the title alone, but that's only the beginning.

The story is riveting and suspenseful, the actors are fantastic with great chemistry, the dark noir atmosphere is right up my alley and the music is awesome and perfect!

I spent a large part of the time on the edge of my seat. This is one I cannot wait to own and feel lucky to have had a chance to see it prior to its release. I highly recommend, and great job to all involved. This is one of the best movies I've seen in some time and I will soon be checking out The Toy Soldiers as well.

In the interests of full disclosure, I concede that I never made it to the end of the movie - but I saw enough to decide to submit my review in order to help those folks who might be thinking "I'll give it a go, nothing much else to do"! Please don't. Like many other film buffs, I am tired of false rating submitted by those who clearly have a vested interest in these films - they don't fool anyone, and are a constant irritant to genuine movie lovers who want to know if a feature is any good. Bad acting, predictable script, formulaic plot - dreadful film, please ignore it and do something more productive with your time.

Through much efforts, I still did not manage to understand the film at all. It seems like a pageant of a large variety of social dregs, whose conversations and behaviors do not make any sense to me. In all, watching it will be a waste of time, at least for most people with their complete sanity.
