Locked away from society in an apartment on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, the Angulo brothers learn about the outside world through the films that they watch. Nicknamed the Wolfpack, the brothers spend their childhood re-enacting their favorite films using elaborate homemade props and costumes. With no friends and living on welfare, they feed their curiosity, creativity, and imagination with film, which allows them to escape from their feelings of isolation and loneliness. Everything changes when one of the brothers escapes, and the power dynamics in the house are transformed. The Wolfpack must learn how to integrate into society without disbanding the brotherhood.
“You won’t be able to pull your eyes off the screen.” -Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
“A strange and fascinating experience; you feel like you’ve been given entry into a mysterious world, where no one else is permitted.” -Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times
“Even in the context of Tolstoy’s famous dictum that every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way, the story of the Angulo brothers stands out.” -Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times
