Bart Freundlich alternates somewhat arbitrarily between his various plots, leaving a lot of loose ends in the process.
March 24, 2017
It's Shannon who lights up the screen, and without him it's hard to imagine this effort would be worth talking about.
March 02, 2017
A curious if unsuccessful cross-breeding of gritty domestic drama with conventional coming-of-age sports crowd-rouser.
March 03, 2017
While the performances are strong in this coming-of-age drama, it suffers from being too familiar and predictable, with wobbly, hand-held camerawork continually breaking the storytelling's spell.
March 02, 2017
A modestly pleasing, unsurprising indie about a family undone by anger issues.
July 07, 2017
On the basketball court, this gritty drama has some scoring ability. But off the court, it's an unconvincing mess of clichés.
March 03, 2017
It's all terribly cliché-ridden and predictable, and the best I can say for it is that Shannon and Gugino do their best to convince us otherwise.
March 10, 2017
The overly-contrived basketball game finale is classic Freundlich (which is to say eye-rolling), but there are times even he, not just his excellent actors, gets things right.
March 02, 2017
It's as if Bart Freundlich, who wrote and directed, loses confidence in the performances and decides he'd better throw in every cliché in the genre.
March 05, 2017
While 'Wolves' boasts exciting basketball scenes plus excellent performances, it's also too predictable and contains a very strange ending.
March 03, 2017
Freundlich clearly likes to dig in deep with this kind of character material, and here it pays off in ways it really hasn't in some of his previous feature work.
March 01, 2017
Wolves blends in with the pack.
