The Wolf and the Ballerina is a short film about a hardened survivalist protecting the only water source for miles. When he catches a starving, 11-year old, deaf girl stealing water, he reluctantly takes her in. Together they must survive the harsh, dry climate as well as those who would threaten their water supply.
As this critic continues to look back at some of this Summer's films I have taken in, I would be remiss if I didn't mention one of the most overall unsettling trends in Hollywood over the last several years.....sequels, reboots, and remakes. Look, I am all for seeing more than one film for certain originals that made a splash, ie: "Jurassic Park", "Pirates of the Caribbean", "Transformers", etc.
This delightfully odd horror movie presents a whimsically strange alternate reality to younger audiences.
It was always people for Joe, and he ultimately found them at the end of a long, painful, yet illuminating quest for self-discovery outside of one, confident constant - his bisexuality.

So do I recommend that people see this movie, yes 100%, but do I think they are going to come out of it with 80 hot takes, yes 100%.
'Barbarian' is horror infused with something ridiculous that makes the whole thing entertaining.
