Premise sounds nice. I don't know the director's works though. I need me a good wolf story to get the taste of "Skinwalkers" out of my mouth. That movie was ick.

This movie did look promising but greatly disappoints. I saw the world premier at the Toronto Film Festival and many people left the theatre early because they were so confused and disappointed. The story line fallows this order:
1. There is a war.
2. A man doesn’t want to become a warrior.
3. That same man is now the leader of the army.
4. This man is now raping a woman that lives under the ground and keeps her trapped there.
5. The two fall in love.
6. Two wolves (which I think are the lovers) kill the last army leader.

This is very confusing because there is no transition at all. You struggle to try to understand what is happening. The director seems to enjoy highlighting the landscape, which was enjoyable to see. But that was the only positive thing that I have about this film.
