The True Adventures of Wolfboy

Special kids means special properties, means strange action to reaction, and most of all a film about being different and not looking like the a4-format that people expects.

its a case of severe hyperhirsotism that has struck the main caracter, its a gene-defect-syndrome, that makes the hair grow everywhere and that is actually from day one. its a rare disease but nevertheless its real, and them have to live a life among us sorthaired for the rest of their lives, even though this film have a fun and a sad anglification, where going bananas seems allright, so its a reminder to all of us that life aint easy.

i think this film was a bit slow and lame, nothing new genericaly, but the production design and make up artists has done a good job, and the lightworks are excellent..acting are as average as expected, and i feel that the caracterbuilding was abit slim.

but its a nice film without profanity or sex or nudity, so it may be a sort of caracterbuilder for small kids as a familydrama. the grumpy old man give 6 even though i know it will become a classic.

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.

"I don't want to meet others like me." -"Why?" "Because I hate me"

I honestly had no high expectations to be completely honest but this was surprising. It is a really good coming of age story, that has a very unique twist on the whole not fit in Athough it follow the same tropes, it does feel fresh, and exciting mainly because of the direction, which is honestly really good. it is veryentertaining and enjoyable and have a very universal message, and it is very heartwarming and beautiful with gorgeous cinematography. The performances by the cast are great and it has a very wholsome and beautiful ending. The first act is a bit rushed but the 2nd and 3rd act are really great.

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.

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.
