| VarietyScott FoundasSo weirdly fascinating is the tale of the Angulo clan that one wishes The Wolfpack were that much sharper, more searching and coherently organized. Still, there is much to enjoy in director Crystal Moselle’s debut documentary feature. |
| Washington PostMichael O'SullivanMore than a testament to the power of cinematic storytelling as food for the human spirit, The Wolfpack also is a portrait of a family that has had to rely on each other to survive. |
| Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)John BeifussA portrait of an utterly distinctive family that raises endless, unanswerable questions about art, responsibility, freedom, creativity and so on. (Plus, you get a guy in a Batman costume made from cereal boxes and yoga mats, and the costume looks great.) |
| The GuardianJordan HoffmanNot since Grey Gardens has a film invited us into such a strange, barely-functioning home and allowed us to gawk without reservation. This is a nosy movie, but it is altogether fascinating. |
| New YorkerAnthony LaneTheir virtual imprisonment has shaped but not ruined them, and we slowly see them venture into the wilds of regular existence. |
| Cinemalogue.comTodd Jorgenson... raises more questions than it answers, yet the remarkable access to its subjects makes the result both heartbreaking and hopeful. |
| Austin American-StatesmanJane SumnerAn eye-popping portrait of six brothers virtually imprisoned for most of their lives inside a 16th-floor flat in a New York housing project. |
| Montreal GazetteBill BrownsteinAnyone who doubts fact can be way stranger than fiction will see otherwise after catching Moselle's debut documentary feature, The Wolfpack. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekAn engrossing portrait of a decidedly peculiar family, but one in which significant pieces of the puzzle are lacking--or summarily ignored. |
| Metro Times (Detroit, MI)Jeff MeyersThe Wolfpack is what happens when a filmmaker of limited talent gets the scoop of a lifetime. |
