Wolf (2021)

[filmbuffTX]

Believing he is a wolf trapped in a human body, Jacob (George MacKay) eats, sleeps, and lives like a wolf – much to the shock of his family. When he’s sent to a clinic, Jacob and his animal-bound peers are forced to undergo increasingly extreme forms of ‘curative’ therapies. However, once he meets the mysterious Wildcat (Lily-Rose Depp), and as their friendship blossoms into an undeniable infatuation, Jacob is faced with a challenge: will he renounce his true self for love

Release date: December 3, 2021

LOL, This is bound to annoy the LGBTQ crowd.

Before I clicked on this thread, I figured this was going to be a remake of the Nicholson/Spader film.

Saw this today and liked it enough. The movie plays completely straight without any satire. Although there were times where I found myself laughing a bit at the awkwardness on display. The filmmaking and the actors are good. They fully commit to their characters without falling into any caricatures. I had to look away during one of the therapy scenes because I could tell what was coming. There's definitely some abuse in this movie, but the young people who are seeking therapy (or forced into therapy by parents) exhibit extreme forms of behavior as well. Worth seeing, but I couldn't tell by the end what the writer/director's intent was. What is the theme? What is the point?

Finally. My theatre played the trailer in front of Last Night In Soho but never got the movie.

Very weird movie. It made me want to research this actual affliction, but as a dramatic feature, it just comes across as a watered-down One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest for furries. There's a nice moment for fans of Lily Rose Depp, however...

Might check this out since it drops on VOD this week. Critics scores aren't good, but audience score is over 80%. Looks kinda freaky and cool.

It seemed interesting. I would have gone to see it if it opened here. I couldn't have cared less about Lily Rose Depp before seeing Silent Night (which actually did open here). I found her very likeable in that and I'm excited to see her in another movie.

Dvd’s should be erased so we only have Blu-Ray format now

Felt more like a Netflix movie than a movie that actually had a semi-wide theatrical release.

I never really looked at the cast list so while watching it I thought the two leads were Olivia Cooke and Harris Dickinson. 🤣

I am drawn to movies with unconventional premises such as this. As crazy as this was written I was all in for spending time with this facility's patients, but ultimately it was a bit of a slog. There wasn't much narrative momentum.

Some of adornments the patients were allowed to wear reminded me of those from Furry conventions. Along those lines I wonder if many Furries know of this film's existence. I personally don't know of any Furries who "become" their animal in the way portrayed in this film.
