Bobby LePire Film Threat Wanton Want might bore some for the first 20 or 30 minutes. However, once the narrative gets underway, thanks to the brilliant acting, perfect visual style, and stunning writing, the film absolutely works. Rated: 9/10 Dec 14, 2021 Full Review Eddie Harrison film-authority.com ...each of the four main actors give the material a real turn of the screw, creating tension and making Wanton Want genuinely compelling at times.... Rated: 4/5 Nov 12, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member I'm just in love with this intriguing Pia. Not sure if i totally understood the movie but I want to see more of Shoshana Wilder. Just loved her. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member For an indie film with a low budget, i thought it was great! Twists and turns all over. Great movie for being shot in only a couple days. I would definitely recommend! 10/10 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Read all reviews
