San Francisco Chronicle by Edward Guthmann
The wolf-homosexual analogy is well drawn, but Wolves ultimately feels slight, a tad unfinished -- as if it were conceived as a sketch and hadn't been fleshed out to feature length.

Once upon a time in the village of Kromer lived two beautiful young wolves. Cocksure Gabriel takes newcomer Seth under his paw and helps reconcile him to the vilification associated with being a wolf. They fall head-over-heels in puppy love, playing together around picturesque waterfalls, secluded woodlands, and moonlit lakes. One day a wicked old crone and her goofy sidekick kill their mistress, frame the wolves, and incite a torch-bearing mob of religious zealots to seek vengeance on the hapless pair. But who will live happily ever after?

New York Daily News by Elizabeth Weitzman
This Grimm-influenced fairy tale has a contemporary twist and the best of intentions, and that's about all there is to say for it.
An odd, sweet and relatively innocuous little fairytale.
Village Voice by Jessica Winter
Largely inept and weirdly endearing.
Totally daft and a lot of fun.
A bit too bloodless to howl about.
Abysmal performances, limp direction (Will Gould) and a heavy-handed script drive a stake through a semi-interesting idea about the persecution of gay werewolves in a remote English village.
The New York Times by Stephen Holden
Silly, heavy-handed film.
San Francisco Examiner by Wesley Morris
Has no intention of taking a more sophisticated path to make its point.
The sun is rapidly burning out and humans engage in a desperate attempt to propel Earth to a new solar system.
When a single mother notices her young son Minato is behaving strangely, she confronts his teacher to discover why.
Be careful what you let in.
