International Feature: Wolf Children

The Wait For It Podcast

What happens when a single mother is left to raise children who can transform into wolves? Join us on an emotional journey through the 2012 animated film "Wolf Children," directed by Mamoru Hosoda, as we share our initial thoughts and impressions of this highly recommended movie from our friend Ivan Patch. We summarize the film's touching plot and set the stage for a heartfelt discussion on the themes of self-identity, growth, and grief.
Explore the emotional and symbolic depth of "Wolf Children" with us, particularly focusing on the resilience of the mother, Hana. We'll also reflect on the impressive performances of the children, Yuki and Ame, and how their journeys of growth and role reversals add layers to the narrative. In our review, we shine a light on the poignant moments and artistic strengths of "Wolf Children," while addressing minor issues we had with the film's conclusion. We wrap up by appreciating the film's handling of themes like grief, acceptance, and self-identity, ultimately sharing our final scores.
