George MacKay is pretty incredible as a man who thinks he's a wolf (a wolf trapped in a human's body?), but Wolf's allegory is a mess. nataliakeogan's review:
flounders in the face of articulating its own thesis. Though it flirts with documenting the deeply traumatizing experiences of adolescents sent to shady psychological treatment facilities by hysterical parents, it ultimately falls back on the very cruelty it claims to be cognizant of.
Sent to a remote clinic by desperate parents, Jacob is immediately placed under psychiatric care to address an identity crisis of sorts. Jacob suffers from “species dysphoria,” which causes him to believe that he is a wolf trapped in a human’s body.
However, the film still presents enthralling sequences of visual splendor, namely the way in which MacKay goes full-onin his houndly movements. In contrast to Depp’s childish catlike crawling, he truly embodies a human who attempts with every fiber of his being to mold flesh into fur—it is at times sickening and scintillating to watch.
