Up the Wolves

About This Movie

So, 'Up the Wolves' is this interesting blend of comedy and drama, directed by Rocky Pajarito. It follows Maude, an actress who’s really grappling with her fading career as she constantly loses out to her rival, Catherine Perry. The film captures that bitter slice-of-life vibe, with plenty of moments where you can almost feel Maude’s frustration. There’s a certain lightness about the way it approaches heavy themes like jealousy and self-worth, especially when Maude goes on this awkward, drunken date she nearly forgot about. The pacing feels relaxed, maybe even meandering at times, but it really allows the characters to breathe. The performances are solid, with a rawness that makes them relatable. Not a film for everyone, but definitely something to ponder.
