Leave your thoughts about The Wound.
| The New York TimesGlenn KennyMr. Trengove shoots the film in intimate wide-screen, getting in close to the performers as their characters tamp down explosive feelings, often letting the spectacular landscapes behind them break down into soft-focus abstractions. His direction is perfectly judged up to and including the shudder-inducing ending. |
| RogerEbert.comPeter SobczynskiThe result is a dark and stirring variation on the standard coming-of-age narrative that, much like its central characters, does not follow the path one might expect. |
| Los Angeles TimesRobert AbeleTrengove’s direction keeps things firmly grounded in the play of glances and intimacies under shelter of nature’s seclusion — dusk-lit silhouettes stealing moments, a waterfall rendezvous. |
| EmpireJimi FamurewaNecessary, deft and ultimately shocking. This is a beautifully hewn, brave piece of filmmaking that asks difficult, searching questions that will haunt you long after the credits roll. |
| Time OutHelen O'HaraIt’s a strange mix: the posturing of the younger boys is funny, but behind their literal dick measuring is the threat of violence. |
| The A.V. ClubMike D'AngeloThe Wound excels so long as it hangs back a bit, watching Xolani struggle to project the authority that his role demands, despite being acutely aware of his own vulnerability. |
| IndiewireDavid EhrlichThe plot ends in a place that feels honest and true, but it gets lost in a kind of narrative no-man’s land on its way there. |
| VarietyGuy LodgeThe Wound is rich in such small, observational details. |
| The Hollywood ReporterSheri LindenJohn Trengove’s first feature takes real chances, delivering a troubling portrait of the collision between communal and personal identity. |
| Screen InternationalAllan HunterThe initial promise of a South African Brokeback Mountain broadens into a measured consideration of class, race, self-loathing and self-assertion in a compact but pleasingly complex drama. |
