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.

Critics Consensus

Despite George MacKay's best efforts, Wolf remains a horror-tinged social allegory that's left to largely chase its own tail.

Kimber Myers

Crooked Marquee

Despite the impressive performance at its heart, Wolf's off-putting approach still keeps its audience at a remove.

Richard Roeper

Chicago Sun-Times

George MacKay, Lily-Rose Depp star in dark fairy tale that handles a real-life condition - believing you're not human - with sensitivity and empathy.

Rated: 3/4

George MacKay's presence and physicality is perhaps one of the most compelling aspects of the film.

Wolf approaches its potentially preposterous premise with affecting authenticity, drawing painful parallels to terrorized communities today.

It's an intriguing concept that lies on the surface without much meaningful exploration.

Boring and superficial. Nothing happens and no character development.

A poetic film. I found myself making wordless connections to what it means to comply, to be domesticated, to choose a perverted survival when deep down you know the natural alternative. All the acting was great, and Paddy Considine delivered a truly familiar malice, but George Mackay's general intensity is what drew me in the first place, and he did not disappoint. Four stars instead of five because it was more cerebral than emotional.

Wanted to get behind this one for a whole slew of reasons, but ultimately, I kept saying "why"?
