Over 10 minutes of this film are used to show us how hard-working she is.

And yes, a lot of these criticisms are because of my personal beliefs, but hey I never said this review was going to be objective.īefore I continue let me mention the only character I liked in this movie old man Nirasaki, the family's cranky neighbour that teaches the mother the basics of farming, because he sees how irritatingly useless she is. I understand that I pretty much just summarised the first quarter of the movie, but this is exactly why I found Wolf Children to be so exhausting. Let me list every significant moment that made me want to pull my hair out: 1) woman in college gets pregnant after literally having sex with a wolf (calling him a wolf because he didn't even have the decency to change into a human for at least the duration of the act - call me a prude but I find bestiality really off-putting in a movie that is supposed to be about a cute family going about their lives), 2) woman casually accepts throwing away her entire life to raise a kid with her werewolf boyfriend (about whom we get the absolute minimum amount of backstory or any kind of characterisation beyond "he looks cool" and "he's a werewolf with a difficult childhood"), 3) woman gives birth at home without a midwife or anybody to help in case something goes wrong, 4) woman gets pregnant YET AGAIN, 5) gives birth at home AGAIN, 6) werewolf dad leaves the house and inexplicably dies, 7) mother takes her unvaccinated children and moves to the middle of nowhere. I couldn't empathise with any of them because they consistently made dumb decisionsįor no reason (especially the mother) making me yell at the screen "why would you even do that?" which is what you really *don't* want your audience experience to be. Not even ridiculously beautiful backgrounds and high quality art direction can save a film with slow, barely-there plot and irritating characters. This movie certainly ranks 10/10 for most frustrating movie I've ever watched. However by the time I finished watching it, I was just angry at it.
I watched Wolf Children because I really liked Summer Wars and The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, and because everyone said it was amazing and a tear-jerker. OK so bear in mind that this will be a very subjective review. Wolf Children is the heartwarming story about the challenges of being a single mother in an unforgiving modern world.

The stress of raising her wild-natured children in a densely populated city, all while keeping their identity a secret, culminates in a decision to move to the countryside, where she hopes Ame and Yuki can live a life free from the judgments of society. All too soon, however, the sudden death of her lover devastates Hana's life, leaving her to raise a peculiar family completely on her own.
Hana gives birth to two healthy children-Ame, born during rainfall, and Yuki, born during snowfall-both possessing the ability to turn into wolves, a trait inherited from their father. Despite this, Hana's love remains strong, and the two ultimately decide to start a family.
On a full moon night, he transforms, revealing that he is the last werewolf alive. As it turns out, he is not truly human either. Hana, a hard-working college student, falls in love with a mysterious man who attends one of her classes though he is not an actual student.
