Critic Consensus: Despite George MacKay's best efforts, Wolf remains a horror-tinged social allegory that's left to largely chase its own tail.

Despite the impressive performance at its heart, Wolf's off-putting approach still keeps its audience at a remove.
George MacKay, Lily-Rose Depp star in dark fairy tale that handles a real-life condition - believing you're not human - with sensitivity and empathy.
George MacKay's presence and physicality is perhaps one of the most compelling aspects of the film.
But for as much writer/director Biancheri pumps copious ideas into this concept, the solemn tone and lack of thematic focus renders the overwrought outing underwhelming.
What started with a sympathetic gaze promising complexity ultimately succumbs to the messiness of mixed tones and shallow observations, a call of the wild reduced to some tinny, ignorable whimpers.
As the film invites us to ponder the real-world circumstances that it implies, its self-seriousness becomes a double-edged sword.
