The Wolf House

There's not much I can say that hasn't already been said in some of the top reviews. But holy shit. There is so much going on here that I don't even know where to start. And the story and the art are so interwoven together that I can't even dissect and discuss each part without having to mention the other. The way that I can look at this in a way that makes sense, on surface level this is a movie about a girl that runs from her community and it is a huge mistake as she can't handle living on her own and the responsibilities that come with it. In reality, her life is now covered in a dark shadow of trauma. She's been through everything. Mainly what is shown is her religious trauma and her trauma associated with isolation. She constantly second-guesses herself, always questioning "Should I go back? Was the wolf right?" She believes the wolf is always there, and eventually that the wolf should be the one to save her. She cannot separate herself from the pain that she grew up in. The lines between reality and imagination are blurred, to the point where you, the viewer isn't even sure what is real and what's not. If you haven't, look up the history behind this movie.
