Wolf (2021)
Written & directed by Nathalie Biancheri this film stars George MacKay, Lily-Rose Depp and Paddy Considine. A teenage boy believing he is a he is a wolf trapped in a human body is sent to a treatment facility for people with zoanthropy.
Going into this film I was very worried it would be a reductive and crass metaphor for looking at Trans issues and while it is not as bad as it could have been it is still pretty uncomfortable at times in my opinion. There are moments where the film captures some of the struggles of the characters or the abuse they suffer in the name of “treatment” really well I just do not think we had to go with this questionable set up to achieve that. Certainly uncomfortable viewing, not always for the intended reasons despite the good performances from the cast.
2/5
