Sundance Hit THE WOLFPACK Gets a New Trailer

One of the most intriguing and fascinating films I’ve seen this year is Crystal Moselle‘s The Wolfpack, a documentary about six brothers kept in a small apartment in New York’s Lower East Side by their controlling father, never being allowed to leave their home. Magnolia has released a trailer for the film today, you can check out my full review here where I gave it a score of 9 out of 10.

The Wolfpack opens in theaters June 12th.

The six Angulo brothers have spent their entire lives locked away from society in an apartment on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. Nicknamed The Wolfpack, they’re all exceedingly bright, are homeschooled, have no acquaintances outside their family and have practically never left their home. All they know of the outside world is gleaned from the films they watch obsessively and recreate meticulously, using elaborate homemade props and costumes. For years this has served as a productive creative outlet and a way to stave off loneliness—but after one of the brothers escapes the apartment (wearing a Michael Meyers mask for protection), the power dynamics in the house are transformed, and all the boys begin to dream of venturing out.
