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.
This is a difficult subject matter, but was so well written, acted and directed it was captivating to watch. I highly recommend this movie. I was fortunate to see Wolf at the Little Rock Film Festival with the director and actors in attendance. The relationship between the husband, wife and son are so realistic, loving and natural. The movie was perfectly cast. You could feel every emotion of the characters from anger, frustration, sorrow, and actually see the healing begin. There may be some people who would stay away from this movie because of this subject matter, but I say see it because of this subject matter. Every one has a voice. Every one has a right to be heard. Great movie.
I viewed this film at the Little Rock Film Festival. It is truly amazing.
The blend of culture through the church provided depth.
However, the topic reaches beyond culture, race, and groups to our very humanity.
The characters were rich… And the main character debuted in this film… It's an unforgettable story with equally unforgettable performances.m
Both the cast and directors created an amazing film. If there were more than 10 stars, I would give it even more.
This needs to be viewed all over!!
Thanks!
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…
