Haunting, mind-blowing, May 27 2002
This review is from: NEW Wolves Of Kromer (DVD) (DVD)
This is one of those rare movies that upon first view it enthralled and frightened me with it's subconsious familiarity. From Boy George's first words of narration to the strange interaction of a local women to these two "wolves" I was hooked. And while it could be seen as simpistic. When have fairy tales ever been complex? A case could be made that the acting is all over the place. Have you seen Star Wars II? The great "secret" of this movie seemed a bit obvious. But considering the current stuff in the paper seems sort of precient. Entertaining. Sensual. Evocative. Strange.

Significant Disappointment, Aug 11 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: NEW Wolves Of Kromer (DVD) (DVD)
I saw this film before its release, at the New York Lesbian and Gay Film Festival. It sticks in my mind still because of its trite, fully derivative, predictable, and tedious plot. I cannot recommend the film...

A Howling Success, Sep 17 2002
A beautifully written and filmed feature that intelligently explores homophobia and hypocrisy through an allegory that reworks Little Red Riding Hood amongst the Shropshire Hills. The Wolves of Kromwer focuses on the relationship between Seth and Gabriel, two gay wolves, their supposed murder of the local lady of the manor and the resulting wolf hunt. Imaginative script with surreal comic touches. Well acted and good characterisation. Involving and thought provoking. Premiered at Sundance Film Festival. Charles Lambert (writer and producer) is a man I am expecting great things of in the future.
