Critics Consensus

Wildling's feminist themes - and the ferocious Bel Powley performance that brings them to life - are often enough to make up for its narrative deficiencies.

It's a good movie to watch. Not something you'd regret seeing although I do believe it could've been done even better. The way it ended makes me feel like there could and should be another one to follow. If there were sequel I would love to see it. It's a gem in need of a polishing. Liv and Bel did fine but it could use more star power and some more umph.

B – Brad Dourif keeps his daughter confined in his attic for 16 years, but when he starts inexplicably poisoning her, and she almost dies, he attempts suicide. Liv Tyler plays a cop who then takes the girl in, and she falls in love with Tyler's brother. However, once the girl is free of her father's drugs she gradually metamorphoses into the titular wolflike creature and kills a rapist and several bad men hunting for her. Too many coincidences and a deus ex machina, but good production values, music, makeup, acting and scenery of the Pacific Northwest.

Really enjoyed this movie. Good acting, good pace, cared about the characters so it was easy to be invested in the story and what happened to them.

A weird take on the coming of age idea. there's a couple of good twists in this tale but it's best to go into it without knowing too much except that the cast is great, especially Bel Powley.

The attention paid to images does not translate to character development, story, or dialogue, leaving little emotional resonance, while making me seriously wonder if the men telling these stories understand much at all about female sexuality.

It's a promising debut for Bhm, with a lot of promise. But it's a home run for Powley, who makes "Wildling" worth watching even when it shouldn't be.

Rated: 3.5/5

ReelViews

Wildling starts out strongly but the qualities that make the first 20 minutes engrossing and harrowing drain away and the movie morphs into a thoroughly unsatisfying excursion into fantasy-tinged horror.

Rated: 2/4

Black Girl Nerds

In an age where horror films are filled with repetitive jump scares that do nothing but annoy, Wildling builds tension by creating an uncomfortable feeling within the viewer.

The Wolfman Cometh

Sure to appeal to Young Adult fans and burgeoning werewolf connoisseurs, yet it doesn't quite capitalize on its promising premise.

Rated: 3/5

...the storytelling gets more haphazard and by the time it finally fully shifts gears into horror, the whole thing just becomes kind of silly, not to mention pretty sloppy from a technical standpoint.
