Despite the impressive performance at its heart, Wolf's off-putting approach still keeps its audience at a remove.

George MacKay, Lily-Rose Depp star in dark fairy tale that handles a real-life condition - believing you're not human - with sensitivity and empathy.

George MacKay's presence and physicality is perhaps one of the most compelling aspects of the film.

Despite a committed performance from MacKay, the film’s storytelling is unfocused and dull, muddling its way through its central metaphor and never devoted enough to the physical carnality of its main character.
