Review of Wolf

Wolf (II) (2021)
7/10
Disappointing flat ending
29 October 2022
An absolutely terrific film about everything from identity, the concept of self, mental illness and the barbarities performed on people 'correcting' them. It works exceptionally well throughout, with likeable and believable characters, but it builds up to a crescendo that never happens. Our hero doesn't attain hs metamorphosis into this true self, despite the appearance that he does, and it all ends up sort of flat on its face. I've rated it for the bulk of the film, which is riveting, but that ending? Oh dear no,,,,

P. S. a shout out to the movement coach who apparently taught the hero his movement. Its one of the most credible human 'wolf' impersonations I've ever seen, no CGI needed. Even more of a shame that impersonation doesn't then fulfil its promise.
