Wolf

This film was the last film I saw at the 2012 Little Rock Film Festival and the best. It is a "must see" . The acting was superb and due to the director I left the theater feeling hopeful and satisfied,which is amazing due to the difficult subject matter explored in the film. I appreciate and applaud film makers that seek to change lives rather than just entertain. Often time films have African Americans characters that are one dimensional (heros, clowns or villains) whereas this film's characters were so realistic and could have been played by actors from any race or nationality. This film was astonishing in that it was not judgmental yet you were encouraged to think. The timing was well done. What more can I say but I look forward to this director's future films.

Wonderful Movie with Excellent Cast! I checked it out at the Little Rock Film Festival over the past weekend and I must say that I am glad that I cleared my schedule to make sure that I got a chance to watch it!!! This is a must see movie...Look out for the Director..he is definitely on his way to becoming the next big thing! The new and upcoming Actors and Actresses are to be watched too! The sound effects, make-up, set-up was great! I love the Grandma - Irma P. Hall...I remembered her role in the movie Soul Food...she was excellent too!!! Keep doing great work and bringing on excellent films. Little Rock loved you and welcome you back with open arms. God Bless all of you!

This film leaves you talking about it for days. Well written and a heavy story so be ready for a few twists and turns. I had the opportunity of viewing "Wolf" at the 2012 Little Rock International Film Festival.

I applaud the festival for screening this film. The quality of the film was very good and the cast was well chosen. Their performances and scenes were very convincing. The shocking events that take place fit the title for the story.

Up to the very end of the film, you will be guessing what will happen next. I look forward to the film at my local cinema in South Florida or via HBO. It is a film you will tell your friends about. Well done.

Full Admission: I was the Casting Director for this film. However, I've worked on a lot of projects, some I'll tell you about, some I won't, and some I can't wait to tell everyone. Wolf is a project with a great story, impactful ideas, and stellar performances. Wolf is the kind of film that many will go back and watch after it's creator Ya'Ke Smith has reached stardom in 3 or 4 years. Wolf is the kind of film that audiences will discover when they back-track it's leading man, the young Jordan Cooper, after he captures their attention with a less controversial main-stream hit! Wolf is the kind of film that you don't expect someone, or an entire group of people, to have the courage to make, but then you watch it. It's real, it's immediate, it's not-typical, and it's a must see. Watch it for the performances, or the direction, or the honest and unflinching narrative...whatever reason compels you to watch Wolf, follow that reason, and it will lead you into a captivating film. If you don't agree, please let me know...

I thoroughly enjoyed "Wolf". The movie is not only well written but also very well directed. When you are finished watching this movie you may find yourself wanting to volunteer at an organization that helps victims and the families of crime such as those portrayed in this movie.

The family dynamics are greatly portrayed in this movie. The performance of the actors draws the audience into the story in a gradual emotion build. You will feel yourself experiencing the emotions of each of the characters including the antagonist in the story line.

Mikala Gibson shines in this movie in the character of Nona. Nona is caught between two extremes of feelings of both anger and compassion and Mikala does an excellent drawing the audience into feeling the rage that a mother would feel in this situation and compassion and longing to comfort their child.

Irma P. Hall too draws the audience into the film in her "no-nonsense grandmother" character, Brenda. Brenda represents a lot of the tradition that goes on in the church. The film is written in such a way that Brenda's responses to some issues are surprising to the audience.

When you get a chance to see this movie at a film festival near you be sure to bring tissues. I will also warn future viewers to beware of the language in the film if you are thinking of bringing teenagers and or small children, don't do it unless you are ready to talk about the hard hitting subject matter.
