Mann ( Paddy Considine) and his “good cop” colleague ( Eileen Walsh) at some remote British compound where such special cases gather for therapy that includes dancing “like normal people” and cages, restraints and torture. Rowling as young Jacob (MacKay) is put under the care of Dr. I found it helpful to lie back and think of J.K. Because God forbid somebody should feel left out, feel “unseen.”

And while the picture misses that target, by and large, there’s still a whiff of “If this had been a hit, they’d be adding letters to the ever-lengthening acronym” of gender spectrum/body “dysphoria. There’s the point of it, the satiric target with the bullseye wr large. And there’s a vague and poorly-realized satiric point of it all - sending such a young man to join other young men, and women, who think they’re horses, parrots, a lion, a German shepherd (That’s AlSAtion to you.) and a duck in an aversion/conversion therapy clinic. So you’ve got this documentary-real realization of “a boy who thinks he’s a wolf” at the heart of “Wolf,” the debut fictional feature of Nathalie Biancheri. The “1917” star got into spectacular shape, took his lessons with a movement coach seriously and if there’s ever been a human special effect more convincing as Canis lupus than MacKay, I’ve not seen her.

We can all pretty much agree that if the time comes to mount a “serious” new werewolf movie - or reboot the twinkly “Twilight” franchise - that George MacKay’s your guy.
