The movie ended too soon

This movie was addicting to watch, like if we felt what they were feeling as humans and as animals, turns out besides action and supense it's also a love story, I only wish they would make a second film because this has so much more to show and tell. Loved the actors and their performances, I only imagine what they had to learn and to practice to become something else than just a human being, and it was amazing. I was so distracted with the movie that I wasnt even expecting it to end because I was always waiting for what was to come next.

I always like films that are bold, original, and imaginative, and Wolf is exactly that. An unique story with underlining meaning and metaphors, and brilliantly acted by leads Lily Rose Depp and George Mckay. Also really liked the cinematography, beautifully shot and really look forward to seeing more from this director and production team.

This movie might be even worse than the Twilight saga and that's impressive.

Sometimes we forget why we watch movies. I will not give any spoilers but I loved this movie. The acting of the entire cast and the overall direction is top notch. It's a well made movie and it has absolutely nothing to do with politics, unlike some of the other reviews here speaking so otherwise. Do not be misled. This movie is about finding your footing in life; and accepting, believing and following what your heart wishes/desires for. Not to become a slave to worldly expectations and conformity. For some reason, it reminded me of The Lobster, but there is no similarity between the movies as such.

What's all the bad reviews about? Great film! Congrats to Nathalie Biancheri on giving us such a beautifully done cinematic experience. It's art film more so, think outside the box or you weren't like it.

Oh yes, it's a strange strange film but overall it's excellent. George MacKay and Lily Rose Depp did an excellent job and were convincing in their roles but yes it gets dark so your either going to like it or not.

"Wolf" is a psychological thriller, revealing the brutality of the clinic for young people who feel they are animals trapped in human bodies. It is about a boy, Jacob (George MacKay), who is a wolf trapped in the body of a child. He will take us on a journey together with his inside partner, a longstanding patient, the graceful Wildcat (Lily-Rose Depp) and the treatment they get (or fail to get) in this facility. And believe me, this is a real thing, species dysphoria! When I read about it, I just had to see the movie. Only near the end will the story really give you satisfaction. A nice twist but there was potential for more. I was not completely satisfied. But that´s just me. I guess this is not only a story about species dysphoria, but being understood by your environment in general. The performances of George MacKay (Jacob) Wildcat (Lily-Rose Depp) and Paddy Considine (Zookeeper) add so much flavour to this movie. Be curious and have a go at it. This movie will rattle your cage...

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.

They tried sending a message to the viewer, but the plot lacked focus and resolve. The psychiatric methods utilized at the home conflict one another. One is outdated/draconian and push the patients into deeper psychosis. The other is more modern and adaptive yet produces no results. It leaves you questioning why none of the psychologists are shown attempting to address the root of the patients' psychosis. Is it a look at bad parenting, bad psychological treatment, or societal pressure to subdue people into conforming? I really don't believe the writers had a message prepared and wanted the viewer to bs their way into believing something profound.
