Nichols has crafted a rapturous romantic thriller with a darkly comic subtext about what kills human values.
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
Rotten
Nichols has allowed Wolf to evolve from a well-mounted, supernatural drama to goofy camp.
Desson Thomson, Washington Post
Fresh
A sometimes shaky, always enchanting Beauty and the Beast story for grown-ups that is the very essence of smart fun -- droll, sophisticated and surprisingly, pleasingly light.
Hal Hinson, Washington Post
Fresh
An effective attempt to place a werewolf story in an incongruous setting, with the closely observed details of that setting used to make the story seem more believable.
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
