It would be easy to simply recount the stages and progressions of growing up, coming age, self-discovery, and sexual awakenings. Wildhood is all that, but it also dips into identity issues that run deeper than what is affected visual clues and by the preference of touch. Read full review

It’s striking, certainly, but teasingly elusive when it comes to story resolution. Read full review
