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.

What to Know

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. Dec 6, 2021 Full Review 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 Dec 4, 2021 Full Review Adam Mullins-Khatib Chicago Reader George MacKay's presence and physicality is perhaps one of the most compelling aspects of the film. Dec 4, 2021 Full Review Zach Pope Zach Pope Reviews I am Speechless... Jul 26, 2023 Full Review Zoë Rose Bryant Loud and Clear Reviews Wolf approaches its potentially preposterous premise with affecting authenticity, drawing painful parallels to terrorized communities today. Rated: 3/5 Sep 1, 2022 Full Review Josh Parham Next Best Picture It's an intriguing concept that lies on the surface without much meaningful exploration.

Jonathan Boring and superficial. Nothing happens and no character development. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 12/08/21 Full Review Dc3 Not a fan of the ending, the build up was good. Acting was good. I like the dude from 1917, Depps kid is chill, I loved littlefinger hes always a dope villain type. Wish the ending went somewhere doe Rated 3 out of 5 stars 12/07/21 Full Review Movie Deputy Incredibly disturbing and completely f'd up... Rated 1 out of 5 stars 12/05/21 Full Review Anon Couldn't even get through half of the movie Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 12/05/21 Full Review Bob L Ditto all the faults others have been cataloging. While it's close to an SNL skit gone awry mixed with some S&M soft porn, I don't mind watching a shirtless MacKay crawl around on all fours for a bit, lol. Throw in a fully nude Duran Duran video remake for the end credits and it's five stars for me. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 07/02/25 Full Review Rosana B Excêntrico, egocêntrico e bizarro, adorável… A licantropia clínica é uma síndrome psiquiátrica rara, uma ilusão de que a pessoa pode se transformar em um animal não humano, é descrito como zoantropia, lembrou me a ficção de terror maravilhoso Good Boy, entretanto mais psíquico, uma crítica aos tratamentos psicológicos agressivos, tema poderoso que poderia ser roteiristicamente melhor retratado, com pretensões mais ambiciosas, e um melhor desfecho, agradável, porém incompleto... Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/18/25 Full Review Read all reviews
