To me, this movie is perfection.
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
First of all, this is my first review, so I won't promise anything about this movie but will just write my opinion...I am glad to find this amazing Russian movie "Весьегонская волчица"(original title) with 7.2 rating, but sad that it doesn't have any reviews, because someone can just ignore it for that. So, I'm just writing one to let you know, it is must-see movie for all animal lovers. This movie kinda reminded me of "passion in the desert" (1997) and if you know and love it, you'll for sure love this one. Acting is very good, natural. It's not childish movie about how good wolves are, no, it shows wolf's true nature and at the same time tries to make you love this creature. This is a very sad and lovely movie about connection between human an animal, who are both fighting to survive. Wolves and humans are both brutal creatures, thats what makes it impossible for them to live together, in harmony...I'm pretty sure, it's not translated in English. Your decision if you're going to watch it, I'd say dialogues doesn't have a big meaning in this movie. Just write original title and good luck with watching it....
