Our take

You never know what to expect from Japanese maverick Takashi Miike, who’s known for Ichi the Killer but also makes kids movies, period films, CGI epics, and more. “Wild” doesn’t even come close to describing this retelling of Pasolini’s Teorema, a scandalous attack on the family institution. Beware.
