George MacKay and Lily-Rose Depp in Wolf (2021)
WOLF is a surreal and mysterious tale of self-discovery. Jacob (George MacKay) is convinced that he is a wolf trapped inside a human body and lives his days as he believes a wolf would. When he’s sent to a “curative” clinic for treatment, Jacob is determined to escape his confines - until he meets the beguiling Wildcat (Lily-Rose Depp). As their relationship deepens, Jacob quickly realizes that he must choose between being himself and staying with the only person who’s ever understood him.

    Not enough for me

    Concept was kind of okay, acting was "interesting", but it just wasn't enough. Felt like half a movie, just a one dimensional plot with no cohesion. I get the main point of it, but why bother? It needed more substance and less howling 😂😂😂! The primary lead actor and lily are great. But besides that I just couldn't get into it. 4/10.

    Terrible script

    George Mackay portraits wolf very well. The sound & the movement totally show how much practice he has put in. However, the storyline & the script are just so terrible. So hard to watch the whole film?

    A total disappointment

    The movie is empty. For such a complex topic the movie feels very superficial. We never learn anything about the characters; no beginnings an no endings just the middle which happens to be the movie but without any substance to it.

    I was expecting to at least feel something from what I had read about the premise of the movie but I was sad that I finished the movie not feeling moved by it.

    Such a waste of what could have been.

    Tries too hard

    "Wolf" was super pretentious, and tries it's hardest to wiggle it's way to cult-classic status. Lily-Rose Depp does the most with this role however. There was potential to be something that a wider audience could accept and appreciate, but I think the director, Nathalie Biancheri, tries to outsmart her everyone who watches it.

    The film is ultimately untranslatable to an everyday filmgoer, but there might be a small few who take something away from the concepts that are presented.

    A great film for.....werewolves!

    A really unique film for minority of people or at least those who are somehow familiar with lycanthropy. As well as Lobster, it reminds me of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's nest, where care-takers exhibit more brutal behavior than the patients, manifesting authoritarian societies.

    Wolf is a poetic tale about the unsatisfied desire for freedom.

    It was truly captivating! Loved it!
