SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped

Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Yash Wade Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

Brenda The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

RealBohemian Perhaps it's because I saw the movie listed as a werewolf genre film. It's very difficult to find good werewolf movies, most of the junk out there is just slasher-flick-in-fur. The good movies made decades ago are impossible to find, and the new ones cater to a jaded taste for sex gore and violence to such an extent that anyone with half a working brain gets rather turned off by them.This is not, of course, a werewolf film; wolves are merely used as a substitute for another term. This is an allegory. It would certainly help if it were advertised as what it is, a silly political statement. Though sometimes funny, and certainly loaded with pretty boys (acting like stereotypical homosexual males), and even at some small points rather touching, the movie goes on WAY too long. I read a review expressing confusion at the subplot involving a murder; that actually made sense as the point of this political statement is to tell watchers that gay men are persecuted by the nonhomosexual population and having the psuedowolves blamed for something heinous they had nothing to do with fits that bill quite well. However, after 33 minutes I had reached my sugar and silly surfit and turned it off to move on thankfully to something else. Perhaps if I had been watching it for what it was, rather than what it had been misadvertised as, I would have watched longer. It seems to be a nicely made film with some good points; but both too heavy handed and too limited for my taste --ever notice how homosexuality and persecution keeps coming out to be the exclusive right of males in such flicks? At any rate, I suspect anyone into art films, male homosexual films, being made uncomfy by the pointing out mainstream societal wrongs, cleverly backdone pointed references, or eying male boody will enjoy this one. I have no idea what the play was like, but again....if advertised as an allegorical play about the perils of male homosexuality or of being nonmainstream rather than as a werewolf flick, it might have come across as a charming effort.

CarPort1 I'm always dumbfounded when people equate budget with quality (think of all the high-budget/ low-quality Hollywood movies that dominate the cineplexes). So, yes, this is low budget -- thankfully -- there's no fancy make-up or special effects, and no CGI. This movie is based on a PLAY. And it's filmed that way (not "opened up" very much from the source). Regardless of how you feel about this specific film, please be aware that there are many fine films out there, of varying budgets, that are presented stylistically as more of a play. Most of the time it is an artistic decision having nothing to do with budget. As far as the content (plot, performances, etc.), I can easily understand why there's much dissension in these areas of this particular film. Certainly this is not a movie for the unwashed masses, or even the washed ones! What I like about it is that it's part murder mystery (not a whodunit) with social commentary, and touches of black humour (I guess in many ways, stereotypically British), not to mention the charming and handsome leads. The Wolves of Kromer is to me what Brokeback Mountain is to many others. So if you want a big-budget flick with big American stars (that's also high in quality), go climb the Mountain!

Siel_O I really enjoyed The Wolves Of Kromer, more than I expected even. It's a small and heart warming film which takes the werewolves as an allegory for young gay men who search their place in the world. The film had a lot David Lynch feel to it, it was comedy and romance combined with creepy undertones and unique-dark-bizarre shots using special lightning techniques. several shots were truly a masterpiece and got me staring for a while. The scenery was beautiful and very pleasant to look at, so were the actors. The acting was very good, the characters' lines felt like each is actually saying what they are feeling (I actually felt a bit like i'm watching a play at some of the parts). I loved the implementation of a modern fairy tale (seeing the couple once boating in the calm river and on the other hand riding a bike). I loved the atmosphere. I even loved the fluffy tales! it was so sweet and original!! (reminded me of anime cat boys) I loved everything about this film, it's not very common for me to give such a high grade but this movie deserves it. :)

deeharris196 you know how sometimes you go and see a film, and you've got no idea what to expect, but something about it just grabs you and makes you watch it? well this film grabbed me, and i have to say, i'm so glad it did because i LOVED this movie. it's sexy, funny and SO clever, and has beautiful guys dressed up in wolf suits and falling in and out of love, and it's beautiful!!! okay, so the guy who plays the dad is a bit ropey, but the two wolves are gorgeous - they could bite me anyday! - and the old maids are just brilliant. so if you want something different, i seriously recommend this - but be warned - it's NOT scary (but it is funny, sweet and really sad too, so it doesn't matter!)
