The True Adventures of Wolfboy

The lead male young actor was good actor. Like others reviews, the make-up was great. I was shocked of the girl, not expecting that. The age of both was not expecting where they regularly patrons. The baddie was of course cheesy but played what written well. Have no clue why Chloë Sevigny has first billing as five minutes in film. Don't care if more star, longer in business, past roles, It was deceiving, should be fixed.

So the premise here is a 13-ish boy was born with a condition that results in excess hair all over his body. His face is so hairy that he resembles a Werewolf. When asked if he could shave it off he replies that it just grows back thicker. Naturally he gets a lot of taunting from his classmates and wicked looks from strangers. As a result he usually wore a type of ski mask allowing him to see and eat.

When he discovers something he decides to take a road trip and find his mother who apparently abandoned him when he was very young. Part of his trip is a brief stint with a small circus, as a curiosity. He hooks up with a 12-ish girl from his neighborhood and a girl old enough to drive. Lots of mischief ensues.

The whole movie is whimsical and for me that works very well. I enjoyed the movie and the characters, it deals with the serious subject of accepting who you are but in an entertaining manner. I watched it at home on Amazon streaming.

MILD SPOILERS: When he eventually does find his mom he also finds her dad, his grandfather and in meeting him better understands his own heritage. He also gains a new outlook regarding his own personal issues. They have a good visit, the boy will mend.

This is a touching story about a boy who tries to navigate a very hard life. It's not as bleak as it could be, which is a good thing.

An unusual tale with unexpected turns. Good acting and a story to make you think.

Really beautiful film, deserves to be better known.

This film deserves to win many awards, but it won't because it isn't big enough in the modern scheme of things. The cinematography was stunning and the locations were strangely beautiful. Production was great and the acting was excellent. Once again Jaeden Martell was totally brilliant.
