How would I describe this film in one word?

Sample word.

Note Sample note.

Review Wolf Children is a fantasy/drama portraying the efforts of a mother to nurture her children who could transform between a human and a wolf after their father’s death. The film deals with the complex nature of her children and how they struggle to decide if they wanna lead their life as a regular human being or as a wolf out in the woods. You’ll never be drowning with boredom, but rather you’ll be feeling anxious and worried about the future of its characters. The themes of acceptance, purpose and belonging are beautifully told through its fluid and brilliant screenplay. It’s a must watch that’ll definitely get your eyes filled up by the end of it. I’d give it… RATING: 8/10
