Watch Wolves For Free

Simply A Masterpiece

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Fantastic!

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

I was not certain as to what I was about to watch, but I am pleased with having done so. Why such a positive rating? I enjoyed not only the script, but the acting.Taylor John Smith is excellent as a young and budding actor. His facial expressions are extraordinary, projecting extreme joy to extreme hurt and angst. Of course, the end was predictable. I mean, how could it have ended any other way?The family challenges, obstacles and dynamics are far more common in America today than some might want or hope to believe. In fact, I surmise that similar family "quakes" have occurred in every generation and will continue well into the future.

I've coached the game at every level. This is what I saw. The only accurate bball scene in the movie is the star actor's/player's shooting form. Defensive movement/agility skills are hard to develop and a sign of having played the game; they looked poorly, acting-staged. Everything else was just misrepresentation, and bad misrepresentation at that. Most notably the confrontation scenes on the playground; in practice and of course in the game. Isolated and small incidents do take place, but statistically would represent less than 1% of such games played. The confrontational language & behaviors of parents and coaches were just as unrealistic. Coaching to instill "rage", sorry, but the best players develop "control" of their emotions. Yes, isolated examples are out there as there are in anything, so what. They are not defining? Scouts don't show up advertising themselves; they try to blend anonymously.

The title: Wolves. 1. The name of a high school basketball team with a star player up for college recruitment. 2. Predators that viciously exploit human addictions. 3. Pseudo Protectors that devour our hopes and dreams.There are many wolves in this film, feeding in subtle and not so subtle ways.It's a film that shows us how easily our human weaknesses can destroy all that we love. Yet, even when redemption is possible, we also see how some are beyond redemption. Such is the role of Michael Shannon as the father- who is extremely good at playing the wolf in sheep's clothing.The plot has some cliché moments and the ending is wrapped up far too neatly for my liking however overall it's a very good film.Considering what's out there in theatres at the moment, Wolves is top on my watch list.

**May Contain Spoilers*The cinematography is to die for and the Re-Mark-Table score (pun intended) is worthy of its own release, but what makes this movie great is its anarchic progression of individual scenes rather than a total piece. The animal husbandry scenes are at once enormously conservative and transgressive. The transgender lava-lamp scene . I think Michael Shannon really killed that deer-IDK. What I do know is that every 14 minutes is something new and exciting worthy of the Sicilian Scene. Whether the bicycle pump is alive or not, I don't kare (two puns in one sitting). A regressive costume drama into American paternity, a master- class in optometry, and a riveting wolf documentary. Best picture of the decade.
