Three sentence movie reviews: The Wolfpack

wolfpackI went into this documentary thinking I would be angry at the situation these six brothers (and one sister) were put in by their parents, and indeed, their lives for a long time followed a path different than what I (and probably the majority of poeple) would choose for them.  However, the boys themselves displayed such resiliency on camera that I left the theater hopeful that they would find their way in this world, despite probably lacking a lot of basic skills.*  The film is worth watching just to see how striking they are when the venture out into New York City from their tiny, cramped apartment.

Cost: $4.00
Where watched: Laurelhurst Theater with S. North.

*But really?  The fact that children are allowed to be raised this way is disturbing.  There should be more oversight.
