Leave your thoughts about Wolves.
| JoBlo's Movie EmporiumChris BumbrayWOLVES ultimately may be a simple underdog story, done in a straightforward, uncomplicated way, but it tells a good yarn and the performances elevate it. |
| FlavorwireJason BaileyFreundlich gets at the occasional moment of truth, but it's the kind of movie that clearly doesn't know how far ahead of it we all are. |
| Paste MagazineKenji FujishimaFor all its faults, Wolves manages to be reasonably involving. |
| Reel Film ReviewsDavid NusairFeaturing a breakout performance by Taylor John Smith... |
| CinemalogueTodd JorgensonOn the basketball court, this gritty drama has some scoring ability. But off the court, it's an unconvincing mess of clichés. |
| ReelTalk Movie ReviewsBetty Jo TuckerWhile 'Wolves' boasts exciting basketball scenes plus excellent performances, it's also too predictable and contains a very strange ending. |
| MetroMatt PriggeThe 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. |
| Common Sense MediaJeffrey M. AndersonWhile 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. |
| User ReviewMartin Csuperb acting and great basketball action! Could have done without a scene or two that didn't progress the plot, but AWESOME movie! |
| User ReviewShay MGreat movie. Sevel F bombs but overall a very rich movie on many levels. Highly recommend for anyone over the age of 17 or so. This movie has it all. Excellent acting. |
