Its intrigues, its graphic violence and Mr. Kenzari's performance make for a worthy addition to the annals of gangster films, Interpol edition.

It's refreshing that director Jim Taihuttu is more interested in the humdrum goings on of those who split their time between illegal and legitimate activities.

Michael Nordine
Village Voice
Top Critic
There's an unmistakable authenticity to the Netherlands Taihuttu depicts, the cultural tensions between rich and poor, old and young and all the different ethnicities that only need to be illuminated slightly to become the stuff of high drama.

Stephen Saito
Moveable Fest
Those who aren't completely turned off by [the lead character] might find themselves increasingly drawn into his story.

Zach Hollwedel
Under the Radar
It may spend more time paying homage to classics than finding its own voice, but Wolf picks and chooses its influences very well indeed.

Dominic Mill
We Got This Covered
Like a stale Big Mac served in gold leaf, [Wolf ] offers up some central meat that never matches the aspiration of its textured flourishes.

David Ehrlich
The Dissolve
The film ultimately leaves you feeling as if you're stuck watching your cousin's boring slideshow of his trip to Palookaville.

Audience Reviews for Wolf

Feb 05, 2014

Wolf is one of the big discoveries of 2013. A revelation at the San Sebastian filmfestival where it won the youth jury award, Wolf features a raw story in the underworld of Amsterdam with wonderful black & white cinematography. The Netherlands now have their own 'La Haine'.
