Something Wild, a bizarre love story--and not really in an interesting way--doesn't quite provide what its title or trailer promises; it's more like Something Weird and Too Long.
The sordid psychodrama comes to a jaw-dropper of a conclusion that's oddly touching despite its outrageous proposal that marriage is the cure for post-traumatic shock syndrome.
The movie's uneasy blend of symbolism and naturalism might have worked better onstage.
An obscure blast from the past, Something Wild is a narrative precursor to Roman Polanski's Repulsion.
