Wolf

A boring movie that tries too hard pretending to be interesting. And fails.

I suppose you could see it as a cry for help to improve the treatment of people who suffer from this type of mental disorder, but it does not occur to me that there could be interest beyond that.

It has the air of having been based on a book written by a teenager and the script adapted by another one. Basic and weird dialogs.

"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.

What did I just watch. MAYBE it could have been a short film...at best. I wanted to cover my ears and gouge my eyes out simultaneously, while then deleting my whole HBO Max account for allowing me to witness this fodder. The script was what you'd expect from an amateur High School theater group, desperate to prove they're edgy and avant-garde. It's one of those roles for Lily-Rose Depp that screams "I don't need nepotism, I can destroy my acting career on my own". And while I admire McKay, and love seeing his career really pick up...lately the majority of his character choices are all the same formula: awkward blank stares, moody huffing and puffing, scowling, gaunt Tim Burton-character-come-to-life energy. Was there ever really a reason for this movie? Did someone think, "You know what kind of movie we need right now?" He was a painfully awkward kid that thought he was a wolf, and that's LITERALLY the whole story.

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?

It's like a joke wrapped in a film, wrapped in bewilderingly bad acting (but honestly, they couldn't have gone anywhere with the script and are mostly at fault for even accepting this allegorical atrocity), wrapped in a terrible story - all wrapped into utter boredom.
