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.

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

3/4

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.

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

Despite a committed performance from MacKay, the film’s storytelling is unfocused and dull, muddling its way through its central metaphor and never devoted enough to the physical carnality of its main character.

3/5

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

Boring and superficial. Nothing happens and no character development.

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom

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.
