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. Expand

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.

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. Expand
