Los Angeles Times

A curious if unsuccessful cross-breeding of gritty domestic drama with conventional coming-of-age sports crowd-rouser.

Bart Freundlich alternates somewhat arbitrarily between his various plots, leaving a lot of loose ends in the process.

On the basketball court, this gritty drama has some scoring ability. But off the court, it's an unconvincing mess of clichés.

Freundlich clearly likes to dig in deep with this kind of character material, and here it pays off in ways it really hasn't in some of his previous feature work.

While 'Wolves' boasts exciting basketball scenes plus excellent performances, it's also too predictable and contains a very strange ending.

Wolves blends in with the pack.

It's as if Bart Freundlich, who wrote and directed, loses confidence in the performances and decides he'd better throw in every cliché in the genre.

While the performances are strong in this coming-of-age drama, it suffers from being too familiar and predictable, with wobbly, hand-held camerawork continually breaking the storytelling's spell.

It's Shannon who lights up the screen, and without him it's hard to imagine this effort would be worth talking about.

Christian Science Monitor

It's all terribly cliché-ridden and predictable, and the best I can say for it is that Shannon and Gugino do their best to convince us otherwise.
