The most shocking thing about A Wolf at the Door is that it actually won 7 major Brazilian cinema awards. It's supposedly modeled on Fatal Attraction but FA at least had style and attitude. For a cautionary tale of adultery this is most plodding. Some of the praise heaped on it notes that it's the director's first film. Ok, can't argue with that but I also can't figure out why it was made. One of the most pointless 100 minutes I've spent watching a film. This is a cautionary review if you're thinking about renting it.

Within the first few frames of A Wolf at the Door, a kidnapping of a six year old girl sets things into motion or should I say into slow motion. This sex, lies and interrogations deconstructs a crime of passion through the eyes of the mother, her cheating husband and a possible suspect. With everyone at fault and no one copping to it - the movie starts to unravel. And since the focus is on motivation - suspense never builds. In fact, by the end of this grim tale, I was wondering “why” I put myself through it.

An amazing thriller that portraits the most unrevealed sides and primitive motivations of human nature. The tension builded between the characters explodes through a shocking and terrifying outcome. Leandra Leal delivers an astonishing performance!!

Wonderfully directed, shot and performed, A WOLF AT THE DOOR dares to show the ugly side of an extra-marital affair and it's brutal consequences. The end will make your jaw drop as nice people do very bad things.
