Wolf Mother

Movie Marmite.

Not for everyone but I loved it.

So I understand the dichotomy of reviews.

A certain level of intelligence is required to fully understand and appreciate the many threads of human issues being dealt with.

Erik Peter Clarkson creates a magical fancy french plait of filmography.

From the hugely gritty opening scene to the heartbreaking closing scene, I was utterly mesmerised throughout.

At times. I was holding my breath. Other times I was in tears. Couldn't look away.

It was a spectacular rollercoaster and I will need to watch it again many times to fully appreciate it all.

Knowing the outcome will make any re-watch that much more amazing. I can't wait.

Really not sure where all these massively negative reviews are coming from. If you couldn't follow it, just say that. No need to make out it was rubbish because there wasn't one bad scene or one bit of bad acting in any part of it.

I thought all the acting was amazing. Then suddenly an amazing brief cameo by Tom Sizemore which blew my mind (for those that have seen it, will understand the pun there).

How was this not a bigger hit? Had the same feeling about Boondock Saints.

This director is a genius who I would not be surprised if he has been inspired by QT.

Gave this 1 star just to help counteract the bogus 10-star "I'm associated with the production team!" ratings. Such "reviews" stand out like a sore thumb. They don't help the movie. They don't fool anyone. They're a waste-of-time annoyance that convinces some people to absolutely not waste their time watching this film. (If the reviews have to be fake to make the movie sound good, it's not worth watching.)

Some jokers never learn. If your movie can't stand on its own without posting fake ratings, you need to find a different line of work.

Absolute rubbish 2 hours of my life I will never get back, thought their was some good reviews I am a film fanatic seriously avoid at all costs but if you want to look at some nakedness then crack on I thought in my opinion it has to be one of the worst films I have ever watched weak plot and rubbish acting you have been warned

If you are wondering about the title - I did too - it will be mentioned in the movie. And it may even make sense to some. By that point the whole thing was too far gone for me to care for any explanation at all. This is beyond understanding - or norms for that matter.

Your moral compass will be in overdrive on so many things. And if you actually root for the main male character - well I couldn't, he was way too despicable on multiple levels. That being said, Najarra almost saves the day. Her role/character is also quite off beat (and yes I am putting it lightly and nicely), but she is a breath and then some of fresh air.

Yes she is beautiful, but so are other individuals in the movie. She is able to bring some sort of gravitas and make you care for her. At least a little bit - which may go some way to explain why I didn't go lower with my vote. A lot of nudity to begin with - but do not worry (or do?), the movie will not keep that tempo. It will take quite the long break. Actually you may get angry when our main character shrugs off (quite rudely if I may add) a love scene in the making.

Still this is insanity and if you try to understand the motives of our main characters, you are lost already ... if you can suspend your disbelief and just drag along (no pun intended), you will be fine.

In the interests of full disclosure, I concede that I never made it to the end of the movie - but I saw enough to decide to submit my review in order to help those folks who might be thinking "I'll give it a go, nothing much else to do"! Please don't. Like many other film buffs, I am tired of false rating submitted by those who clearly have a vested interest in these films - they don't fool anyone, and are a constant irritant to genuine movie lovers who want to know if a feature is any good. Bad acting, predictable script, formulaic plot - dreadful film, please ignore it and do something more productive with your time.
